Ingredients

Units Scale

Ingredients

For the Chocolate Layers:
  • 1 1/2 cups dark chocolate or milk chocolate chips
  • 1 tablespoon coconut oil (or butter, optional for smoother chocolate)
For the Peanut Butter Filling:

  • 3/4 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 1/4 cup powdered sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Melt the Chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt chocolate chips and coconut oil in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until smooth.
  2. Prepare Muffin Liners: Line a mini muffin tin with paper liners. Spoon 1 teaspoon of melted chocolate into each liner and spread it to coat the bottom. Place in the freezer for 5 minutes to set.
  3. Make the Peanut Butter Filling: In a small bowl, mix peanut butter, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and salt until smooth.
  4. Assemble the Cups: Scoop ½ teaspoon of peanut butter mixture onto the set chocolate layer. Flatten slightly with a spoon.
  5. Top with More Chocolate: Spoon another teaspoon of melted chocolate over the peanut butter filling, ensuring it’s fully covered. Tap the pan gently to smooth the tops.
  6. Chill & Set: Freeze for 15–20 minutes or refrigerate for 30 minutes, until firm.
  7. Enjoy! Peel off the liners and enjoy your homemade peanut butter cups!

Notes

  • Make It Crunchy: Use crunchy peanut butter or mix in crushed peanuts.
  • Dairy-Free/Vegan Option: Use dairy-free chocolate chips.
  • Storage: Keep in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 weeks or freeze for up to 3 months.
