Using a food processor, combine chickpeas, peanut butter, and honey. Process ingredients until smooth.
Evenly distribute the chickpea mixture among a 12-cup muffin tin. Press the mixture into the bottom of each cup.
Melt the chocolate chips using a bowl over boiling water.
Top the chickpea mixture with melted chocolate and spread with a spoon until evenly distributed.
Refrigerate the muffin tin until the chocolate has hardened. Remove the peanut butter cups from the tin and store in a sealed container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.

Use a seed-based butter or other nut-butter alternative for a nut-free option.

Swap honey for maple syrup, and use dairy-free chocolate to make these cups vegan.
