Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 340 grams White chocolate chips
- 180 grams Smooth peanut butter
- 60 grams Powdered sugar
- 30 grams Unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 pinch Salt
Instructions
1. Line a standard 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners. Set aside.
2. In a microwave-safe bowl, melt 170 grams of the white chocolate chips in 20-second bursts, stirring after each interval, until smooth and fully melted.
3. Spoon about 1 teaspoon of melted white chocolate into each muffin liner, tilting the liner to spread the chocolate evenly across the bottom. Place the muffin tin in the freezer for 5 minutes to set.
4. In a medium mixing bowl, combine the smooth peanut butter, powdered sugar, unsalted butter (softened), vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Mix until smooth and well combined.
5. Roll approximately 1 tablespoon of the peanut butter mixture into a small disc shape and place it on top of the set white chocolate layer in each liner. Gently flatten it to create an even surface, leaving a small border around the edges.
6. Melt the remaining 170 grams of white chocolate chips using the same method as before. Spoon 1-2 teaspoons of melted chocolate over the top of each peanut butter disc, ensuring the peanut butter filling is completely covered. Tap the muffin tin gently on the counter to smooth the tops.
7. Chill the peanut butter cups in the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes, or until fully set.
8. Once set, remove the cups from the muffin tin and discard the paper liners. Serve immediately or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
