These No-Bake Peanut Butter and Jelly Cups are a delightful dessert that combines the classic flavors of peanut butter and jelly with a rich chocolate coating. Each bite is a perfect blend of creamy, sweet, and slightly salty, making them an irresistible treat for both kids and adults.
Ingredients
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1 cup granola or crushed graham crackers
- 1/2 cup jelly or jam of your choice
- 1 cup chocolate chips (semisweet or milk chocolate)
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil (optional, for melting chocolate)
Instructions
- Prepare the Cupcake Liners: Line a muffin tin with cupcake liners or grease them lightly.
- Make the Peanut Butter Mixture: In a mixing bowl, combine the creamy peanut butter, powdered sugar, and granola or crushed graham crackers. Mix until well combined and the mixture is thick.
- Melt the Chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the chocolate chips and coconut oil together in 30-second intervals, stirring in between until smooth.
- Assemble the Cups: Pour a small amount of melted chocolate into the bottom of each cupcake liner, just enough to cover the bottom. Place the muffin tin in the refrigerator for about 10 minutes to let the chocolate set.
- Add Peanut Butter Filling: Once the chocolate is set, take a spoonful of the peanut butter mixture and press it down on top of the chocolate layer in each liner. Make a small indentation in the middle of the peanut butter layer and fill it with jelly or jam.
- Top with Chocolate: Pour more melted chocolate on top of the jelly layer to fully cover it. Return the muffin tin to the refrigerator and let the cups set for about 30 minutes before serving.
- Serve: Once set, peel the cups from the liners and enjoy your delicious No-Bake Peanut Butter and Jelly Cups!
