Description

These mini peanut butter cups feature a creamy peanut butter filling encased in a rich chocolate coating, making them a perfect treat for any occasion. Easy to prepare and utterly delicious, they are sure to satisfy your sweet cravings!

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups milk chocolate chips
  • 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1/4 teaspoon sea salt (optional)
  • Mini cupcake liners

Instructions

  1. In a medium mixing bowl, combine 1 cup of creamy peanut butter, 1/2 cup of powdered sugar, and 1/4 cup of melted unsalted butter. Mix until smooth and creamy using a spatula.
  2. Add 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract and stir until fully incorporated. Taste and add a pinch of sea salt if desired.
  3. In a microwave-safe bowl, combine 1 1/2 cups of milk chocolate chips and 1/2 cup of semi-sweet chocolate chips.
  4. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until melted and smooth (about 1 to 2 minutes). Let cool slightly.
  5. Line a muffin tin with mini cupcake liners (about 24).
  6. Add about 1 tablespoon of melted chocolate to the bottom of each liner, tilting the tin to spread it evenly.
  7. Refrigerate for 10-15 minutes until the chocolate sets.
  8. Scoop about 1 tablespoon of peanut butter filling onto the set chocolate in each liner, flattening it gently with the back of a spoon.
  9. Top each peanut butter layer with another tablespoon of melted chocolate, ensuring it covers the filling completely.
  10. Tap the muffin tin on the counter to smooth the tops. Optionally, sprinkle a tiny pinch of sea salt on top.
  11. Return to the refrigerator for another 30 minutes until the chocolate is completely set.
  12. Carefully peel the mini peanut butter cups from the liners.
  13. Arrange on a serving platter. Enjoy for parties, movie nights, or as a sweet snack.
  14. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week.

Notes

  • For a richer flavor, consider using dark chocolate instead of milk chocolate.
  • Add a layer of crushed pretzels or graham crackers for extra texture if desired.
