Ingredients

• 1.5 cups Powdered sugar
• 1 cup Creamy peanut butter
• 0.25 cup Unsalted butter, melted
• 2 cups Milk chocolate chips
• 2 teaspoons Coconut oil or vegetable shortening
• 18 pieces Mini cupcake liners

Directions

Step 1

Line a mini muffin tin with mini cupcake liners. Set aside.

Step 2

In a mixing bowl, combine powdered sugar, peanut butter, and melted butter. Stir together until you achieve a smooth, pliable mixture. This will be your peanut butter filling.

Step 3

In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the milk chocolate chips and coconut oil/shortening in 30-second intervals, stirring after each interval, until smooth and completely melted. Be careful not to overheat.

Step 4

Spoon about 1 teaspoon of melted chocolate into the bottom of each mini cupcake liner. Gently tap the tin on the counter to level the chocolate layer.

Step 5

Take about 1.5 teaspoons of the peanut butter mixture and roll it into a small disc or ball. Flatten it slightly so that it fits neatly in the center of the cupcake liner, on top of the melted chocolate layer.

Step 6

Spoon another teaspoon (or enough to cover the peanut butter filling completely) of melted chocolate over the top, ensuring it spreads evenly over the peanut butter layer.

Step 7

Tap the tin lightly on the counter again to smooth out the top layer of chocolate.

Step 8

Refrigerate the peanut butter cups for at least 1 hour, or until completely set.

Step 9

Once set, remove the peanut butter cups from the muffin tin and peel away the cupcake liners. Serve chilled or at room temperature.
