Peanut Butter Cups

Based on Taste of Home’s Homemade Peanut Butter Cups.

These are addictive. I do them in a silicone mini muffin tin so that they are easier to get out and don’t result in accidentally eating paper. You can also do them in any muffin tray or cupcake liner, or on any movable flat surface (such as parchment paper on a baking sheet or plate) that will fit in your refrigerator or freezer.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup creamy peanut butter, divided
  • 1/2 cup confectioners’ sugar (aka powdered sugar)
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 cups semisweet chocolate chips

Directions

  • In one bowl, mix until smooth:
    • 1/2 cup peanut butter
    • 1/2 cup confectioners’ sugar
    • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • In a separate bowl, melt chocolate and 1/2 cup peanut butter
    • microwaving works well
    • stir until smooth
  • Put chocolate mixture into muffin tray or onto flat surface
  • Drop some peanut butter mixture into each cup
    • top with more chocolate mixture
  • Refrigerate or freeze until set
