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

I think this is much better as raw batter than baked cake. Therefore, the recipe is quartered – closer to a single or double sized snack than a whole cake.

However, flour is a raw ingredient which if contaminated could make you sick, so eat at your own risk.

Based on the Chocolate Olive Oil Cake recipe from Smitten Kitchen. Head there for the full recipe, glaze, and baking directions.

Add together:

  • 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 5 teaspoons unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1.5/8 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1⁄8 teaspoon kosher salt

Mix until uniform in color.

Then add:

  • 1/4 cup water
  • 4 teaspoons olive oil
  • 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon white vinegar

Slowly blend, then mix until the mixture is smooth and uniform.
