Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 cup Creamy peanut butter
- 1 cup Powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 pinch Salt
Instructions
Line a standard 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners and set aside.
Melt 1 cup of the chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl in 20-second intervals, stirring in between, until smooth and fully melted.
Spoon about 1 tablespoon of the melted chocolate into each muffin liner and use the back of the spoon to gently spread it up the sides of the liner slightly, creating a chocolate base. Place the muffin tin in the freezer for 10 minutes to set.
In a medium bowl, combine the peanut butter, powdered sugar, melted butter, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Mix until smooth and well combined.
Scoop out about 1 1/2 tablespoons of the peanut butter mixture and roll it into a ball. Flatten it slightly into a disc that will fit inside the chocolate base, then place it on top of the chocolate in each muffin liner.
Melt the remaining 1 cup of chocolate chips in the microwave as before, then spoon about 1 tablespoon over each peanut butter disc to cover completely.
Gently tap the muffin tin on the counter to ensure the chocolate spreads evenly and any air bubbles are removed.
Place the muffin tin back in the freezer for 15-20 minutes, or until the chocolate shell is set.
Once set, remove the peanut butter cups from the muffin tin and store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
Serve chilled or at room temperature and enjoy your homemade peanut butter cups!
