Calling all chocolate and peanut butter lovers! Put away those fun-size candy bars and freezer-burned ice cream pints because we’ve got the cure to your weeknight cravings. Say hello to a personal-sized (!) peanut butter lava cake. It couldn’t be easier to prepare—all you have to do is pop it in the microwave. When you dig in, get your Instagram (and your tastebuds) ready: the rich, cakey outer shell gives way to a warm flow of molten peanut butter. Keep it simple or gild the lily (in the best way possible) by topping it with chopped fruit, nuts, ice cream, or flaky sea salt. You really can’t go wrong.
