Instructions

Chocolate Layer

Set 16 silicone muffin liners into the bottom of standard-size muffin pans.
In a heatproof bowl set over a pan of barely simmering water, combine the chopped chocolate and the cocoa butter. Stir frequently until melted and smooth, then remove from heat.
Spoon about one teaspoon of chocolate into the bottom of the silicone muffin liners and spread to the edges. Freeze 20 minutes. Reserve the remaining chocolate for the tops of the cups.

Peanut Butter Layer

In a microwave safe bowl, combine the peanut butter and butter. Melt on high in 30 second increments, stirring until smooth.
Stir in the powdered sweetener and vanilla extract until smooth. Divide this mixture between the cups, spreading to the edges. Refrigerate while preparing the caramel layer.

Caramel Layer

In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the allulose and brown sugar replacement. Cook until the sweeteners have melted. Allow to come to a boil, then reduce the heat to medium low and cook until caramelized and amber, about 3 minutes.
Remove from the heat and stir in the butter and the cream. The mixture will bubble vigorously; this is normal.
Return to medium low heat and cook until deep amber and thickened, another 2 minutes or so. Remove and stir in the vanilla and the peanuts.
Let cool until thickened and syrupy, then spoon over the peanut butter layer, dividing evenly. Return to the fridge for another 20 minutes.
Rewarm the remaining chocolate gently until melted, then spoon over the cups and spread to the edges. Refrigerate until firm, about 10 to 15 minutes.
