Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter, divided
- 4 teaspoons butter, almost melted
- 1/2 cup confectioners’ sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 cups (12 ounces) semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 cup (6 ounces) milk chocolate chips
Instructions
- Mix 1/2 cup of peanut butter, almost melted butter, confectioners’ sugar, and salt in one bowl. Set aside.
- In a separate bowl, microwave both the semisweet and milk chocolate chips, along with the remaining peanut butter until melted and smooth. Start at 1 minute and stir, then heat at 20-30 second intervals stirring each time, until melted and smooth.
- Layer a small amount of chocolate into the bottom of the paper-lined muffin cups. (You can use either mini or regular size or both.) For mini muffin cups, use about a teaspoon of chocolate. For regular muffin cups, it will be closer to a tablespoon.
- Next, spoon a small teaspoon or tablespoon (for large) of the peanut butter filling into the center of each muffin cup.
- Lastly, layer more chocolate on top until the peanut butter filling is completely covered.
- Chill for at least 1 hour until firm. Enjoy!
- Store in a cool place.
Notes
*If it’s warm out, store the peanut butter cups in the refrigerator so they don’t melt.
