These Homemade Peanut Butter Cups are a delightful mix of creamy peanut butter and rich chocolate. Perfect for a sweet treat or gift, they're easy to make and irresistibly delicious!

Ingredients (Makes 12):

  • Chocolate Layer:

    • 1 1/2 cups semi-sweet or milk chocolate chips
    • 1 tablespoon coconut oil or butter (optional, for a smoother texture)

  • Peanut Butter Filling:

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

Instructions:

  1. Prepare the Filling:

    • In a bowl, mix peanut butter, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and salt until smooth and combined. Set aside.

  2. Melt the Chocolate:

    • In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the chocolate chips and coconut oil or butter. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until smooth. Alternatively, melt the chocolate using a double boiler.

  3. Assemble the Cups:

    • Line a muffin tin with 12 paper liners.
    • Add about 1 teaspoon of melted chocolate to each liner, spreading it to cover the bottom. Chill in the freezer for 5 minutes to set.
    • Scoop about 1 teaspoon of the peanut butter mixture into each liner and gently flatten it.
    • Cover the peanut butter layer with more melted chocolate, ensuring it's fully covered.

  4. Chill:

    • Place the muffin tin in the freezer for 10-15 minutes, or until the chocolate is firm.

  5. Serve and Store:

    • Remove the peanut butter cups from the liners and enjoy!
    • Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 weeks or in the freezer for up to 2 months.

Tips:

  • Customizations: Use almond butter, cashew butter, or sunflower seed butter for variations.
  • Toppings: Sprinkle sea salt, chopped nuts, or drizzle additional chocolate over the tops before chilling.
  • Size Options: Use mini muffin tins for bite-sized treats.
