🍫🥜 No-Bake Chocolate Peanut Butter Cups
Ingredients:
-
1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
-
½ cup peanut butter (creamy or chunky, your choice)
-
2 tbsp butter (room temp)
-
1 cup powdered sugar
-
Optional: 1 tsp vanilla extract
-
Optional: pinch of salt
🥄 Instructions:
1. Prepare Your Mold:
-
Line a mini muffin tin with paper liners or use silicone molds.
2. Melt Chocolate (for the base):
-
Melt half the chocolate chips (½ cup) in the microwave in 30-second bursts, stirring until smooth.
-
Spoon a small amount of melted chocolate into each liner, just enough to cover the bottom.
-
Freeze for 10 minutes to set.
3. Make Peanut Butter Filling:
-
In a bowl, mix peanut butter, butter, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and salt until smooth and well combined.
4. Add Filling:
-
Once the chocolate base is set, add a spoonful of peanut butter mixture on top, gently pressing it down (leave some space at the top for chocolate).
5. Top with Chocolate:
-
Melt the remaining chocolate chips.
-
Spoon melted chocolate over the peanut butter layer to seal the cups.
-
Smooth tops with the back of a spoon.
6. Chill:
-
Refrigerate or freeze for 20–30 minutes until firm.
7. Enjoy:
-
Remove from liners and store in an airtight container in the fridge.
💡 Tips:
-
For a twist, add chopped nuts, sea salt flakes, or mini chocolate chips in the filling.
-
Use natural peanut butter for a healthier spin.
-
These keep well refrigerated for about a week.
