How To Make This Snickers Snack Cups Recipe
STEP ONE: Place 12 muffin liners in a standard muffin pan. Set it aside.
OUR RECIPE DEVELOPER SAYS
Silicone muffin liners would also work well in this recipe instead of paper liners.
STEP TWO: Add the chocolate chips to a medium-sized microwave-safe bowl.
Heat in the microwave for one minute, stir, and then heat in 30-second increments until the chocolate chips are completely melted and smooth.
PRO TIP:
You can also melt the chocolate chips on the stovetop in a saucepan if you prefer.

Place the pan in the refrigerator.
