- 1 cup peanut butter
- 1 cup chocolate chips
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Melt the Chocolate: Place the chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl and heat in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until fully melted and smooth.
- Mix in Honey and Vanilla: Stir the honey and vanilla extract into the melted chocolate until completely combined and glossy.
- Pour Chocolate Layer: Spoon a layer of the melted chocolate mixture into cupcake liners, covering the bottom evenly.
- Chill the Bottom Layer: Place the cupcake liners in the refrigerator and chill for 10 minutes, allowing the chocolate to set slightly.
- Add Peanut Butter Layer: Spoon peanut butter on top of the chilled chocolate layer in each cup, spreading gently to cover evenly without breaking the bottom layer.
- Cover with Chocolate: Pour the remaining melted chocolate over the peanut butter layer, covering it completely.
- Final Chill: Return the cups to the refrigerator and chill for an additional 20 minutes until the chocolate is fully set and firm.
- Serve: Remove the peanut butter chocolate cups from the cupcake liners carefully and serve immediately or store in a cool place until ready to enjoy.
Notes
- Use natural or creamy peanut butter for smooth texture.
- If the chocolate hardens in the bowl, gently reheat it in the microwave in short bursts.
- Line a tray with wax paper to place cups for easier handling when transferring to fridge.
- You can substitute honey with maple syrup for a different sweetener.
- Store these cups in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
