Instructions
- Line a mini-muffin pan with paper liners and a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a medium mixing bowl, add the peanut butter, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract and beat together on low speed. Gradually increase the speed to medium-high and continue to beat for about one minute until completely smooth.
- Then, add the chopped peanuts and gently stir them into the batter.
- Scoop 1 teaspoon size portions of the peanut butter mixture and roll them into balls. Place them on the lined baking sheet and press them down a little to a ¼” thick round disc.
- Add the chocolate bark and chocolate chips to a medium microwave safe bowl. Heat for 30-seconds, then stir and repeat for another 30 seconds. (repeat one more time if necessary) Remove from the microwave and stir until the chocolate is completely melted. Transfer the chocolate to a piping bag or a plastic baggie with the corner cut off.
- Pipe about a ½ teaspoon dollop of the melted chocolate into the bottom of a muffin tin hole. Place a peanut butter disc on top of the chocolate. Then pipe enough additional chocolate to cover the peanut butter completely. Repeat with the each of the remaining peanut butter discs.
- Place the filled muffin tin the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to set.
- Sprinkle with flakey sea salt if desired.
Notes
- Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 7 days.
- Use a regular peanut butter and not an all-natural peanut butter, which is usually oilier.
- Use crunchy peanut butter for extra crunch
- Leave out the the chopped peanuts if you prefer a more classic Reese's peanut butter cup.
