Homemade Peanut Butter Cups

Step 1

Mix 1/2 cup of peanut butter, almost melted butter, confectioners’ sugar, and salt in one bowl. Set aside.

Step 2

In a separate bowl, microwave both the semisweet and milk chocolate chips, along with the remaining peanut butter until melted and smooth. Start at 1 minute and stir, then heat at 20-30 second intervals stirring each time, until melted and smooth.

Step 3

Layer a small amount of chocolate into the bottom of the paper-lined muffin cups. (You can use either mini or regular size or both.) For mini muffin cups, use about a teaspoon of chocolate. For regular muffin cups, it will be closer to a tablespoon.

Step 4

Next, spoon a small teaspoon or tablespoon (for large) of the peanut butter filling into the center of each muffin cup.

Step 5

Lastly, layer more chocolate on top until the peanut butter filling is completely covered.

Step 6

Chill for at least 1 hour until firm. Enjoy!

Step 7

Store in a cool place.
