Directions
- In the bowl of a blender, combine the peanut butter, maple syrup, coconut milk, vanilla, and salt. Blend to combine, starting on low and increasing to high.
- Pour roughly half of this mixture into a measuring pitcher (1 ½ cups) and set aside.
- To the remaining peanut butter mixture in the blender, add the cocoa powder, plant milk, and remaining maple syrup. Blend until smooth.
- The mixtures should be the consistency of heavy cream to swirl well. If they’re too runny, chill for 20-30 minutes or so to thicken them for the best swirling.
- Place a few pieces of chopped peanut butter cups in the bottom of your popsicle molds.
- Pour the chocolate mixture into the molds, filling them a little more than halfway.
- Gently pour the peanut butter mixture over the chocolate mixture, leaving ½-inch of room at the top. Use a chopstick to swirl the mixture gently.
- Freeze until the tops of the popsicles are semi-firm, 10-20 minutes, then press the remaining peanut butter cups into the tops. Add the popsicle sticks, and freeze until firm, at least 2 hours and up to several days.
