Description
Delicious homemade peanut butter cups with a creamy filling, perfect for any occasion!
Ingredients
Scale
- 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter (if you’re nut allergic you can substitute Sunbutter or your seed butter of choice.)
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter or vegan butter (softened)
- 1/2 cup confectioners’ sugar (or vegan & sugar-free options use sugar-free confectioners’ sugar like Lakanto)
- 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips or dairy free semi sweet chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
- 24 mini candy liners
Instructions
- Line a mini muffin tin with 24 mini candy liners.
- In a small bowl, using a mixer, beat together the peanut butter, butter, and confectioners’ sugar to get a creamy peanut butter consistency for the filling. There should not be any lumps and it should look smooth. Set aside.
- Put your chocolate chips or chunks and 1/2 cup peanut butter in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave the chocolate for one minute, stir, and continue to cook in 30-second increments after the first round until it’s melted and smooth (usually takes 1 & 1/2 minutes, but stir well to continue melting chocolate between each increment).
- Drop about a teaspoon of chocolate into each candy liner. Then place some peanut butter in the middle of the chocolate, gently pushing it down on top of the chocolate, but keeping it from the sides of the liner. Add a thick layer of chocolate on top to cover the peanut butter, filling the liner to the top. Add peanuts on top and drizzle some more chocolate on top if desired!
- Place the PB cups in the fridge and let them set completely before serving (about two hours depending on your fridge temperature). Store in an airtight container in the fridge or freeze.
