Ingredients
  

For the Peanut Butter Cups
  • 1 cup Chocolate Chips Milk chocolate or dark chocolate works great.
  • 1 cup Creamy Peanut Butter Can substitute for crunchy or almond butter.
  • 1/2 cup Powdered Sugar Adds sweetness and helps with texture.
  • 1/4 cup Butter Softened to enhance creaminess and flavor.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a microwave-safe bowl, melt about half of your chocolate chips in 30-second increments, stirring until smooth.
  2. Line a muffin tin with cupcake liners. Use a spoon to coat the bottom of each liner with melted chocolate (about 1 tablespoon each) and place it in the fridge to set for 10 minutes.
  3. While the chocolate sets, mix the creamy peanut butter, powdered sugar, and softened butter in a bowl until smooth and fully combined.
Assembly
  1. Once the chocolate layer has set, spoon a dollop of the peanut butter mixture into each cup, smoothing it out evenly.
  2. Melt the remaining chocolate and cover the peanut butter layer with it, ensuring a full seal.
Chill and Serve
  1. Refrigerate for another 30-40 minutes until fully set.
  2. Remove from the fridge, peel off the liners, and enjoy your homemade peanut butter cups!

Notes

For best results, heat the chocolate gently and stir often. Feel free to add crushed pretzels for a salty crunch or sprinkle with sea salt on top.
