### **Instructions**:
1. **Melt the Chocolate**: In a microwave-safe bowl, heat the chocolate chips in 20-30 second intervals, stirring between each, until the chocolate is smooth and fully melted. You can also melt the chocolate in a double boiler if you prefer that method.
2. **Combine with Peanut Butter**: While the chocolate is melting, scoop the peanut butter into a separate bowl. Once the chocolate is melted and smooth, pour it into the peanut butter and stir to combine until you have a rich, creamy mixture.
3. **Chill and Set**: Once fully mixed, spoon the mixture into silicone molds, an ice cube tray, or simply onto a parchment-lined baking sheet. Flatten and smooth the mixture, then place it in the fridge for at least 30 minutes or until set.
4. **Enjoy**: Once chilled, your two-ingredient treat is ready to enjoy! Pop them out of the molds, break them into pieces, or simply scoop them up with a spoon (no judgment here). They’re perfect for a quick dessert, snack, or a special treat.

### **Why This Works with Just 2 Ingredients**
It’s truly amazing how two simple ingredients—peanut butter and chocolate chips—combine to create something that feels indulgent and satisfying. Peanut butter is creamy and salty, while chocolate adds that rich, melt-in-your-mouth sweetness. When mixed together, they form a perfect duo that’s incredibly addictive.
The great thing about this recipe is how easily adaptable it is. You can use any type of chocolate you like—dark, milk, or white—so you can adjust it based on your personal taste. If you prefer, you could even mix in some crushed nuts, a sprinkle of sea salt, or a touch of vanilla extract to make it your own.

### **Tips for the Best 2-Ingredient Treat**:
– **Add-Ins**: If you’re feeling extra, add a handful of crushed graham crackers, mini marshmallows, or a drizzle of caramel sauce into the mix. The simplicity of the base allows for lots of creativity, so don’t hesitate to make it your own!
– **Use Nut Butters**: You don’t have to stick with peanut butter. Almond butter, cashew butter, or even sunflower butter work just as well. Each nut butter brings a unique flavor that can add variety to the recipe.
– **Chill for Longer**: For a firmer texture, let the mixture chill for longer than 30 minutes—if you’re making larger portions, you might need to leave it for a few hours to set properly.
– **Storage**: Keep your creations stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week, though I doubt they’ll last that long! They also freeze well if you want to make them ahead and save them for later.
