Ingredients
- 3/4 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar may not use all (see instructions)
- 2 cups milk chocolate chips
- 2 tablespoons coconut oil
- +2 teaspoons coconut oil
- 60 M&M’s pastel Easter colors
- 2 tablespoons Sprinkles and jimmies - Easter colors
Instructions
- Line a 12-serving cupcake pan with paper liners. Set aside.
- Add the peanut butter and 1/4 cup powdered sugar to a large mixing bowl and mix well using an electric hand mixer.
- Add the remaining 1/4 cup of powdered sugar if the mixture is too wet - it should feel like a very soft dough. Set aside.
- Add the chocolate chips and coconut oil to a microwave-safe bowl and microwave in 30-second increments until the chocolate is fully melted, stirring well after each addition. This should take 1 1/2 - 2 minutes.
- Using a small spoon, drop 1-2 tablespoons of the chocolate into the bottom of each cupcake liner and press it slightly up the sides to create a little “cup”.
- Place the chocolate cups into the freezer to set for about 10 minutes.
- Remove the hardened cups from the freezer and press a tablespoon of the peanut butter mixture into the bottom of each cup, leaving a small gap around the sides to allow the top layer of chocolate to coat the sides.
- Press 4-5 M&M candies into each peanut butter cup.
- Top each cup with more chocolate until fully coated, reserving a small amount for drizzling later.
- Place the peanut butter cups back into the freezer to set for about 20 minutes.
- Remove the peanut butter cups from the freezer and peel the liners off.
- Drizzle the peanut butter cups lightly with the remaining melted chocolate, and top with Easter sprinkles and/or jimmies.
- Serve cold or at room temperature!
- Store any leftover peanut butter cups in the refrigerator.
