Peanut Butter Cups

Peanut Butter Cups

These homemade peanut butter cups are rich, chocolatey, and filled with a creamy peanut butter center. They’re easy to make, perfectly sweet and salty, and better than store-bought.

  • Total Time: 30 minutes
  • Yield: 12 peanut butter cups 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 2 tablespoons softened butter
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • A pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Line a muffin tin with paper or silicone liners.
  2. In a bowl, mix the peanut butter, powdered sugar, softened butter, vanilla extract, and salt until smooth.
  3. Melt the chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring between each until smooth.
  4. Spoon a teaspoon of melted chocolate into each muffin liner and spread slightly. Chill for 5–10 minutes.
  5. Add a scoop of the peanut butter mixture on top of the chocolate layer and flatten slightly.
  6. Top with more melted chocolate to cover the peanut butter. Tap gently to smooth.
  7. Chill the cups until completely set, about 20 minutes.
  8. Remove from liners and enjoy.

Notes

  • Use silicone liners for easy removal.
  • Chill each layer for cleaner layers.
  • Sprinkle sea salt on top for extra flavor.
  • Store in the fridge or freezer for longer shelf life.
