Ingredients
- 2 cups Semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 cup Creamy peanut butter
- 1 cup Powdered sugar
- 4 tablespoons Butter
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
Directions
Step 1
Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper or silicone cupcake liners.
Step 2
In a microwave-safe bowl, melt 1 cup of the semi-sweet chocolate chips in 30-second intervals, stirring between each interval, until smooth. This typically takes about 1 to 1.5 minutes.
Step 3
Spoon about 1 to 2 teaspoons of melted chocolate into each cupcake liner and spread it evenly across the bottom. Place the muffin tin in the freezer for 5-10 minutes, or until the chocolate sets.
Step 4
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the peanut butter, powdered sugar, butter, vanilla extract, and salt. Mix until smooth and well-combined. The mixture should be thick but spreadable.
Step 5
Remove the muffin tin from the freezer. Divide the peanut butter mixture evenly among the chocolate-lined cups, pressing it down gently with the back of a spoon to create a flat layer.
Step 6
Melt the remaining cup of chocolate chips using the same microwave method as before. Spoon 1 to 2 teaspoons of melted chocolate over the peanut butter layer in each cup, spreading to cover the peanut butter entirely.
Step 7
Place the muffin tin back in the freezer for another 10 minutes, or until fully set.
Step 8
Once set, remove the homemade Reese's Cups from the liners and store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. Enjoy!
