Ingredients

• 2 cups Semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 1 cup Creamy peanut butter
• 1 cup Powdered sugar
• 2 tablespoons Butter
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1 pinch Salt

Directions

Step 1

Line a standard 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners and set aside.

Step 2

Melt 1 cup of the chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl in 20-second intervals, stirring in between, until smooth and fully melted.

Step 3

Spoon about 1 tablespoon of the melted chocolate into each muffin liner and use the back of the spoon to gently spread it up the sides of the liner slightly, creating a chocolate base. Place the muffin tin in the freezer for 10 minutes to set.

Step 4

In a medium bowl, combine the peanut butter, powdered sugar, melted butter, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Mix until smooth and well combined.

Step 5

Scoop out about 1 1/2 tablespoons of the peanut butter mixture and roll it into a ball. Flatten it slightly into a disc that will fit inside the chocolate base, then place it on top of the chocolate in each muffin liner.

Step 6

Melt the remaining 1 cup of chocolate chips in the microwave as before, then spoon about 1 tablespoon over each peanut butter disc to cover completely.

Step 7

Gently tap the muffin tin on the counter to ensure the chocolate spreads evenly and any air bubbles are removed.

Step 8

Place the muffin tin back in the freezer for 15-20 minutes, or until the chocolate shell is set.

Step 9

Once set, remove the peanut butter cups from the muffin tin and store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.

Step 10

Serve chilled or at room temperature and enjoy your homemade peanut butter cups!
