Ingredients
- 1 cup white chocolate chips
- ¼ cup creamy peanut butter
- ¼ cup confectioners' sugar sift if it's lumpy
- ½ teaspoon oil-based orange food dye* See Notes
- ½ teaspoon oil-based black food dye* See Notes
Instructions
- Line a 12-count mini muffin pan with mini liners; set aside.
- Melt the white chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl on high in 30-second intervals, stopping to stir between each interval, until they can be stirred smooth.
- Add the orange food dye and stir until no streaks are visible.
- Add about 1 teaspoon to the base of each muffin liner and smooth them gently with the back of a spoon; set remainder and the muffin pan aside.
- To a separate bowl, add the peanut butter, confectioners’ sugar, and mix until fully combined.
- Add the black food dye and mix to fully combine. If the mixture looks grayish, simply add more black dye until desired color is achieved.
- Add a small dollop. about 1/2 teaspoon, of the peanut butter mixture on top of the first layer of orange chocolate.** (See Notes)
- Use the remaining orange chocolate to cover over the top.
- Place in the fridge to set, about an hour or until hardened. After that, the peanut butter cups may be stored airtight at room temp easily for 10 days or longer, or in the fridge for 1 month or longer.
Notes
- *You must use an oil-based food dye for the white chocolate. If you use a water-based dye, it will seize the chocolate and it won’t be usable meaning you’ll have to start over which is definitely a buzz kill. I use these oil-based gel food colors for the peanut butter cups in orange and black. It’s probably easiest to just order them on Amazon rather than running around to a variety of baking specialty stores or hunting and pecking in regular grocery stores.
- **When you’re assembling the Halloween peanut butter cups, don’t add too much peanut butter to the middle or it will be hard to cover up with the amount of orange chocolate remaining. You can always melt and mix more but you may not get the shade of orange exactly the same as before.
- ***You do not have to wait for the bottom layer of chocolate to dry before adding the peanut butter. In fact, it’s almost easier to add it when it’s not dry already.
