Making homemade peanut butter cups is simple and delicious. Here’s a step-by-step guide to creating your own version of this classic treat.
Ingredients:
• 1 cup peanut butter (smooth or crunchy)
• 2 cups powdered sugar
• 1/4 cup butter (melted)
• 2 cups chocolate chips (milk, dark, or semi-sweet)
• 1/2 tsp vanilla extract (optional)
Instructions:
Prepare the peanut butter filling: In a bowl, mix together the peanut butter, powdered sugar, and melted butter until smooth. You can also add vanilla extract for extra flavour. Set this mixture aside.
Prepare the chocolate layer: Melt the chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl in 20-30 second intervals, stirring after each, until fully melted and smooth.
Assemble the cups: Line a muffin tin with paper liners. Spoon a small amount of melted chocolate (about a teaspoon) into the bottom of each liner, spreading it to cover the base. Place the tin in the refrigerator for about 10 minutes to set the chocolate.
Add the peanut butter filling: Once the base is set, spoon a dollop of the peanut butter mixture onto the chocolate, pressing it down slightly to flatten. Be sure to leave space at the top for the final layer of chocolate.
Top with chocolate: Spoon the remaining melted chocolate over the peanut butter layer, covering it completely.
Chill: Refrigerate the cups for at least 1 hour or until firm.
Once set, enjoy your homemade peanut butter cups—rich, creamy, and irresistible!
