  • Yield: 12 peanut butter cups 1x
  • Category: Dessert
  • Cuisine: American

Ingredients

Scale
  • 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

  1. Grease mini muffin tray with some vegetable oil.  I used a paper towel and wiped the cups in a thin layer.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. Place the tray in the fridge until the cups are firmed through.
