Equipment
- Cooking spray
- Mini cupcake liners
Ingredients
- 16 oz creamy peanut butter
- 2 lb chocolate chips milk, semisweet or dark
- 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
Instructions
- Melt Chocolate: Melt the chocolate chips in a double boiler or the microwave until smooth.
- Form Shells: Arrange mini cupcake liners on a baking sheet (lightly spray with cooking spray if desired). Spoon melted chocolate into each liner, coating the bottom and sides.
- Chill Shells: Refrigerate the chocolate-coated liners for 5-10 minutes until firm.
- Make Filling: While the shells chill, mix the peanut butter and powdered sugar until a thick, smooth filling forms. Add 2 tbsp melted butter if too crumbly.
- Fill the Shells: Pipe or spoon the peanut butter filling into the chilled chocolate shells. Lightly dampen a finger with water and gently press the filling to create a flat, even surface.
- Add Top Layer & Chill: Pour the remaining melted chocolate over the filling to cover it completely. Refrigerate for 30 minutes, or until the cups are fully set.
