Chocolate Chili Crisp Peanut Butter Cups

A scoop that channels the spirit of Reese’s Cups, but with a flavor pairing that dates back to chocolate’s earliest days. The Olmecs first enjoyed chocolate as a bitter, chile-spiked drink, and we’re riffing on that tradition by swirling Fly By Jing’s Sichuan-style chili crisp into gobs of natural peanut butter. Layered between slabs of chocolate, our homemade peanut butter cups are smashed into bite-sized pieces and folded into milk chocolate ice cream. Swirls of peanut butter marshmallow fluff add a Moon Pie effect, further softening the chili’s heat while amping up its flavor. Proof that the best flavor pairings stand the test of time—and only get better.
