Why do that?
- The classic combination of peanut butter and melted chocolate on a spoon creates a no-bake delicious bites.
- Freezing brings the chocolate into a crispy cover around the creamy peanut butter.
- The creation only takes 15 minutes.
When I grew up, my sister and I treated our kitchen like an inventor’s workshop. We loved experimenting with funny combinations of ingredients, especially if they concerned sugar. One of our favorite creations was something that we called “Zebra droppings” – why we called them so that I have no idea. Despite their inappropriate name, these treats proved to be absolutely tasty and require almost no effort. You only take a spoonful peanut butter, press it with melted chocolate and freeze until the chocolate hardens.
We are now in our thirties and my sister is a professional backlogger with a best -selling cookbook full of show desserts (aptly named Sweet tooth!) And I am a recipe developer who creates dozens of complex recipes every month. And yet, when I need something sweet, my favorite is still the modest zebra.
It is a magical combination of peanut butter and chocolate with a crispy shell that leads to a creamy, rich center. It is basically a homemade peanut butter cup, but it is ten times easier than a muffin form because you eat it directly from the spoon. They are the perfect no-bake dessert that you can store in your refrigerator if you need an afternoon pick-me-up or post-dinner delicacies. Children will also love them!

The most important ingredients
While I love natural peanut butter that are only made peanuts and salt, I am sad to report that it doesn’t work well in this recipe. It is important to use a thicker, not stirring peanut butter that does not drip out of the spoon. But you can use creamy or crispy peanut butter, no-Stir almond butter or thick seed butter if you have a nut allergy.
You have a few options for the chocolate sneezing. For me, Semisweet Chocolate Chips are a pantry basic food for me, which is why they are my favorite in this recipe. But instead you can use a chopped chocolate bar, and everyone works bitter sweetness, dark or even white chocolate. If you use chocolate chips, you have to add a small amount of coconut oil so that the chocolate melts into a dripping consistency that can be easily poured over the peanut butter.
As a last grade, I love adding a little scaly sea salt to add the aromas of chocolate and peanut butter, but you can totally omit it. Other funny topping ideas are chopped nuts and crumbled freezer-dried strawberries.
