Ingredients
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup chocolate chips (dark or milk chocolate)
- 2 tablespoons coconut oil or butter
- Mini cupcake liners
Instructions
- Prepare the Muffin Tin: Line a muffin tin with mini cupcake liners.
- Make the Peanut Butter Filling: In a mixing bowl, combine the peanut butter, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth and well combined.
- Melt the Chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the chocolate chips and coconut oil. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until the chocolate is completely melted and smooth.
- Assemble the Cups: Pour a small amount of melted chocolate into the bottom of each mini cupcake liner, just enough to cover the base. Place the tray in the refrigerator for about 10 minutes to set.
- Add Peanut Butter Filling: Once the chocolate has set, remove the tray from the refrigerator and spoon the peanut butter filling over the chocolate layer, filling each liner about 2/3 full.
- Top with Remaining Chocolate: Pour more melted chocolate over the peanut butter filling in each cup to completely cover it. Use a spatula or the back of a spoon to smooth the tops.
- Chill: Return the muffin tin to the refrigerator and let the cups set for at least 30 minutes or until firm.
- Serve: Once set, remove the chocolate peanut butter cups from the liners and enjoy. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
