- 1/2 cup unsalted butter
- 2 large eggs

- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- Nonstick spray or butter for greasing ramekins

Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Grease four 6-ounce ramekins with nonstick spray or butter, then dust with cocoa powder.
- In a small bowl, mix peanut butter, 2 tablespoons of butter, and powdered sugar until smooth. Divide into 4 balls and place in the freezer.
- Melt the chopped chocolate and 1/2 cup butter together in a heatproof bowl over simmering water (double boiler method). Stir until smooth.
- Remove from heat and let cool slightly. Whisk in the eggs, egg yolks, sugar, and salt until combined.
- Fold in the flour just until incorporated.
- Divide the batter evenly between prepared ramekins. Press a frozen peanut butter ball into the center of each and cover with batter.
- Place ramekins on a baking sheet and bake for 12–14 minutes, or until the edges are set but centers are soft.
- Let rest for 1 minute, then run a knife around the edges to loosen and carefully invert onto plates.
- Serve warm for maximum lava goodness.
