Halloween Homemade Peanut Butter Cups
Ingredients
- ¼ cup Honey Roasted Peanut Butter
- 8 oz. of Semi-Sweet Baking Bar chopped
- Sprinkles to sprinkle on top (optional
Instructions
- In a microwave safe bowl warm the peanut butter for 15 to 20 second till soft and at a pourable consistency.
- Add the chopped up chocolate in another microwavable bowl and melt it too. Do it in burst of 20 seconds, so that it doesn’t seize up or burn. Mix well after each burst.
- Line a mini muffin pan with paper or silicone liners.
- Spoon about 1 teaspoon melted chocolate into each lined muffin cup. Tap the muffin tin lightly to spread the chocolate.
- Spoon ½ teaspoon of slightly melted peanut butter over chocolate. Tap the muffin tin lightly again to spread.
- Top it off with 2 teaspoon of melted chocolate. Tap lightly to spread everything evenly and to get rid of any air bubbles. Add sprinkles of choice.
- Refrigerate the tin for about 30 minutes for the cups to harden.
- Peel the paper liner and enjoy!
Homemade Peanut Butter Cup Tips
- Since the chocolate doesn’t have any stabilizers added, it melts quickly. Keep under refrigeration at all times.
- If honey roasted peanut butter is not available, use regular peanut butter. Add a tablespoon of honey or maple syrup and warm in the microwave for 30 seconds till soft. Mix well and use it as per the recipe.
- If using chocolate chips instead of bar, add a tablespoon of vegetable or coconut oil, while melting. It prevents seizing.
