Name:Irresistible Homemade Chocolate Peanut Butter Cups
Cuisine:Fusion
Prep Time:15 minutes
Cooking Time:2 minutes (melting chocolate)
Total Time:47 minutes (including chilling time)
Servings:12 peanut butter cups
Yield:12 peanut butter cups

The number of servings and yield can vary slightly depending on how much filling and chocolate you use for each cup.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 1/4 cup powdered sugar
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
  • 1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • A pinch of salt
  • 2 cups high-quality semisweet or dark chocolate chips
  • 2 tablespoons coconut oil

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare Your Muffin Tin

Begin by lining a standard muffin tin with paper or silicone cupcake liners. This will make it easier to remove the peanut butter cups once they’re set.

Step 2: Make the Peanut Butter Filling

In a mixing bowl, combine the creamy peanut butter, powdered sugar, softened butter, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Stir until the mixture is smooth and well combined. This will be your delicious peanut butter filling.

Step 3: Create the Peanut Butter Layers

Spoon a small amount of the peanut butter mixture into each of the cupcake liners, filling them about one-third of the way. Use the back of the spoon to flatten and smooth the peanut butter layer.

Step 4: Melt the Chocolate

In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the semisweet or dark chocolate chips and coconut oil. Microwave in 20-30 second increments, stirring after each interval, until the chocolate is completely melted and smooth.

Step 5: Add the Chocolate Layer

Spoon the melted chocolate over the peanut butter layer in each cup, covering it completely. Tap the muffin tin gently on the counter to even out the chocolate.

Step 6: Set and Chill

Place the muffin tin in the refrigerator and allow the chocolate peanut butter cups to chill for at least 30 minutes, or until they are firm.

Step 7: Enjoy!

Once the cups have hardened, remove them from the muffin tin and peel away the paper or silicone liners. Your homemade chocolate peanut butter cups are now ready to be enjoyed! Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator.

Pro Tip: Get creative with your peanut butter cups by adding chopped nuts, sea salt, or even a drizzle of caramel for an extra layer of flavor and texture.

Enjoy your homemade chocolate peanut butter cups, and happy indulging!
