Homemade Peanut Butter Cups
These luscious bites of pure joy are so easy to make that even a kitchen newbie can whip them up. You’ll soon understand why they never last long in my house!
Ingredients:
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter (the good kind, please!)
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 2 cups milk chocolate chips (or dark if you’re feeling sassy)
- 1/4 cup butter (because butter makes everything better)
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional, but why not?)
Instructions:
- First off, mix together your peanut butter and powdered sugar in a bowl. Make sure it’s mixed well because nobody likes chunky fillings in their cups (unless you’re into that, no judgment!).
- Next, take a silicone muffin pan (or a regular one, but prepare for a struggle!) and melt your glorious chocolate chips and butter in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat it in 30-second intervals, stirring between each go until it’s smoother than a jazz saxophonist.
- Now, pour a small layer of the melted chocolate into each muffin cup, enough to cover the bottom. Use a spoon to spread it around evenly. Let it sit for a few minutes so it starts to set – patience, my friend!
- Once the chocolate has firmed up, take your peanut butter mixture and scoop a generous amount onto the chocolate layer. Don’t be shy, pile it on like it’s the last piece of cake at a birthday party!
- Now for the grand finale: spoon more melted chocolate over the peanut butter filling, completely covering it. Feel free to make it look pretty; you’re the artist here!
- Pop those bad boys into the fridge for about 30 minutes so they can solidify. Trust me; it’ll be worth the wait!
- Once set, remove them from the muffin pan, and get ready to devour them like a true connoisseur. Maybe share, or maybe not? Your call!
And there you have it! Delicious, melt-in-your-mouth Homemade Peanut Butter Cups that are sure to impress anyone who gets a taste. Enjoy the sweet life, y’all!
