Homemade Chocolate Peanut Butter Cups

These homemade chocolate peanut butter cups are the ideal way to indulge in the perfect combination of rich chocolate and creamy peanut butter. With just five basic ingredients, they are incredibly simple to make!

Ingredients:

• 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
• 1/4 cup creamy peanut butter
• 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
• 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
• 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions:

Use twelve paper or silicone cupcake liners to line a muffin tin

Melt the semisweet chocolate chips in 30-second increments in a microwave-safe bowl, stirring in between, until completely melted and smooth

In order to coat the bottom of each cupcake liner uniformly, spoon a tiny bit of melted chocolate into the bottom of each liner

To set, freeze for ten minutes

Meanwhile, thoroughly combine the unsalted butter, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and creamy peanut butter in a separate bowl

After taking the muffin tin out of the freezer, fill each liner with a small amount of the peanut butter mixture and top it with the hardened chocolate

Pour the remaining melted chocolate over the peanut butter filling, making sure to cover the entire peanut butter mixture and create a smooth top

Re-freeze the muffin pan for approximately 20 minutes, or until the chocolate has solidified

After the homemade chocolate peanut butter cups are set, take them out of the liners and enjoy! Any leftovers should be refrigerated in an airtight container
