Homemade Healthy Protein Peanut Butter Cups

0 Prepare the muffin tin. Line the muffin tin with parchment paper liners or whatever muffin liners you have available.
1 Make the peanut butter filling. Add peanut butter, pumpkin puree, maple syrup & pumpkin pie spice to a medium bowl & mix with a fork until all of the ingredients are fully combined. Set aside.
2 Melt the chocolate. Add chocolate chips to a small microwave-safe bowl & microwave in 15 second increments until chocolate is just melted. If you have a double boiler you can also use this method to melt the chocolate instead.
3 Add protein. Add a scoop of chocolate protein powder to the melted chocolate & whisk with a fork until no clumps remain.
4 Make the pb cups. Drizzle a think chocolate layer on the bottom of each liner, just enough to cover the bottom. Next add about 1-2 tbsp of the peanut butter filling to each muffin liner until the filling is used up.
5 Add the puffed rice cereal. Add the rice cereal to the melted chocolate and top each of the peanut butter layer with a layer of chocolate coated cereal. 
6 Chill. Bang the tray gently on the counter top to evenly spread out the peanut butter cups, sprinkle with flakey salt and place in the fridge for at least 2 hours to allow the candy to set.
