Ingredients
- 12 ounces dark chocolate or milk chocolate, good quality
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- ⅓ cup Graham cracker crumbs
- ¼ teaspoon salt
Instructions
For the Chocolate
- Melt the chocolate in the microwave on medium power, stirring every 30 seconds. Avoid overheating the chocolate to prevent it from seizing.
- Pour about a teaspoon of melted chocolate into each well or muffin liner. Use the back of a spoon or a pastry brush to spread it up the sides, ensuring the bottom and sides are completely covered.
- Place the mold in the freezer for 30 seconds to firm the chocolate. Correct any thin spots if necessary.
- Refrigerate the mold until the chocolate is cold.
For the Peanut Butter Filling
- In a bowl, combine peanut butter, powdered sugar, graham crumbs, and salt. Stir to combine.
- Gently press approximately 2 teaspoons of the peanut butter mixture into each well to flatten.
Assembly
- Pour enough melted chocolate over the peanut butter to cover it entirely. Tap the mold to level the top.
- Refrigerate until the chocolate is firm.
- Once set, the peanut butter cups are ready to be enjoyed!
Notes
- Do not use natural peanut butter or natural nut butter that separates.
- If using silicone or metal cupcake liners, place them on a small pan so they're easy to handle.
- Keep the chocolate layer fairly thin but thick enough that it doesn't melt/break when you handle it.
- Chocolate can be melted in a double boiler if desired.
- Keep peanut butter cups in the fridge in an airtight container for up to 7 days. Freeze for up to 3 months.
