Creamy Peanut Butter Cups - Real Recipes from Mums

These Creamy Peanut Butter Cups are little bites of heaven! Creamy chocolate mixed with smooth peanut butter makes for a delicious treat! Just try stopping at one …

Ingredients (makes 12 mini cups)

1/2 cup Smooth peanut butter
3 TBS Icing sugar
300g Good quality chocolate melts
12 mini Patti pan cases

Method

Place patti pan cases on a baking tray
Melt half the chocolate in the microwave for 30 second bursts stirring in between until all melted and smooth
Melt half the chocolate in the microwave for 30 second bursts stirring in between until all melted and smooth
Carefully spoon a small amount of chocolate into each patti pan, and when done, lightly tap the tray on the bench to get rid of any air bubbles and to flatten the top
Place the tray into the fridge for 20 minutes or until the chocolate has set
Mix together the peanut butter and icing sugar really well until no lumps
Spoon a small amount on top of the chocolate layer in each of the cases, and smooth out by tapping the tray gently on the bench. Place the tray into the freezer for 15 minutes to harden the peanut butter
Melt the remaining melts using the same method as before, then spoon evenly between the cases on top of the peanut butter layer. Tap the tray to smooth the tops.
Place back into the fridge for at least 30 minutes until set
When set and just before serving, remove the cases carefully to reveal the layers
Keep in the fridge in an air tight container, removing 10 minutes before you want to eat them!

This recipe combines my 2 loves: peanut butter and chocolate. So yum but so bad for you.

  You think so ? I think peanut butter is quite healthy and chocolate can be so too (especially raw chocolate). To make it more healthy you could remove the icing sugar.

Thanks for sharing. I would use raw coconut palm sugar and make it fine with a mortar and pestle.

  I love peanutbutter cups. Although, I make a sugarless version with natural peanutbutter and dark chocolate. Such a good flavour combo.

I don’t like peanut butter but maybe I could try it with something else in the middle.
