Homemade Peanut Butter Cups
- Prep Time: 1 hour
- Cook Time: 15 minutes
- Total Time: 1 hour 15 minutes
- Yield: 12 peanut butter cups
- Category: Dessert
- Cuisine: American
Ingredients
- 2 (11.5 oz) packages of milk chocolate chips, divided
- 1 cup peanut butter
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/2 cup confectioners’ sugar
- 1 tsp of vanilla
- 1 tbsp of vegetable oil
- 2 whole gram crackers (1/4 cup crushed)
Instructions
- Grease mini muffin tray with some vegetable oil. I used a paper towel and wiped the cups in a thin layer.
- Place 1 bag (11.5 oz) of chocolate chips in a microwave safe container, with 1 tbsp of vegetable oil. Microwave for 2 minutes, stirring after each minute. Spoon melted chocolate into muffin cups, filling halfway. With a spoon, draw the chocolate up the sides of the cups until evenly coated. Cool in the refrigerator until firm, takes about a 30 min.
- In a small bowl, mix together peanut butter, confectioners’ sugar, salt, vanilla, and 1/4 cup of crushed gram crackers. Divide into the chocolate cups.
- Melt the remaining chocolate, if you do not have any left over, use some from the 2nd bag, and spoon over peanut butter. Spread chocolate to edges of cups.
- Place the tray in the fridge until the cups are firmed through.
