1-First Steps: Getting Set Up: Begin by lining a mini muffin pan with paper liners to ensure your cups release easily without sticking that’s a game-changer! Place the dulce de leche in a piping bag or a ziplock bag with a corner snipped off, so it’s ready for filling later. Chop the dark chocolate bar into small, even pieces and mix it with the coconut oil in a bowl; this prep helps with even melting and avoids any lumps.

2-Melting and Assembling: Melt the chocolate mixture in the microwave at 50% power, starting with 30-second bursts and then switching to 15-second ones, stirring well each time until it’s silky smooth. Don’t rush this overheating can cause issues, so patience pays off for that perfect shine! Fill each liner halfway with the melted chocolate using a small scoop or piping bag, then pipe about 1 teaspoon of dulce de leche into the center of each one.

3-Melting and Assembling: Top it off by covering the filling completely with the rest of the melted chocolate, tapping the pan on the counter to smooth everything out and pop any air bubbles. Sprinkle on those sea salt flakes for a tasty finish, and let the cups set at room temperature for at least 30 minutes until they’re firm. You’ll be amazed at how straightforward this is and how great they turn out!
