Instructions
-
1Crush the Weetabix — blitz in a blender until fine crumbs, or place in a zip-lock bag and crush with a rolling pin. A wooden spoon works too — no blender needed!
-
2Mix the base — combine Weetabix crumbs, peanut butter, and maple syrup in a bowl. Mix until a sticky, moldable dough forms. It should hold together when pressed between your fingers.
-
3Press into moulds — divide the mixture evenly between 6 silicone cupcake moulds or a lined muffin tin. Press down firmly with the back of a spoon to compact each one.
-
4Add the chocolate top — pour melted dark chocolate over each cup to cover the surface. Tap gently to level. Add sea salt or crushed peanuts now if using.
-
5Refrigerate until set — about 20 minutes until the chocolate is firm. Try not to eat them all straight from the fridge! 🍫
Pro Tips for Perfect Cups
- 🥜Natural peanut butter works best — the oily texture binds the Weetabix crumbs perfectly without needing any extra fat or liquid.
- 🌾Mash with a wooden spoon — no blender? No problem. Crush the Weetabix in a bag or bowl with a spoon until fine crumbs form.
- 🍫Use 70%+ dark chocolate — the richness of high-cocoa chocolate balances the sweetness of the base and gives the best flavour.
- 🍯Swap maple syrup for honey — both work perfectly. Honey gives a slightly floral sweetness; maple syrup has a deeper, caramel flavour.
- 📅Store in the fridge for up to 1 week — keep in an airtight container. They also freeze brilliantly for up to 3 months.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use crunchy peanut butter?
Absolutely — crunchy peanut butter adds a lovely texture to the base and pairs beautifully with the crispy Weetabix crumbs.
Can I use another nut butter?
Yes! Almond butter, cashew butter, or sunflower seed butter all work. Each one gives a slightly different flavour — all delicious.
My base isn't holding together — what do I do?
Add another tablespoon of peanut butter or maple syrup and mix again. The dough should feel like wet sand that clumps when pressed.
Are these gluten-free?
Standard Weetabix contains wheat, so these are not gluten-free as written. Swap for a gluten-free cereal of your choice to make them GF.
