Method
Preparation
- Line a mini muffin tin with paper liners or use silicone molds.
- Chop chocolate if not using chips for even melting.
Make the Chocolate Base
- Melt the chocolate gently over a double boiler, stirring frequently until smooth and glossy.
- Add a pinch of salt to the melted chocolate and stir in.
- Spoon about 1 teaspoon of melted chocolate into each cup, spreading evenly to cover the bottom.
- Tap the tray gently on the counter to level the chocolate, then refrigerate for 10 minutes until set.
Prepare the Peanut Butter Filling
- In a medium bowl, combine peanut butter, powdered sugar, melted butter, and a pinch of salt.
- Stir until completely smooth and creamy. Adjust powdered sugar if you prefer firmer filling.
Assemble the Cups
- Remove the tray from the fridge and spoon about 1 tablespoon of peanut butter filling on top of the chocolate layer in each cup.
- Smooth the surface with a small spatula or spoon, leaving some room around the edges for the final chocolate layer.
- Spoon the remaining melted chocolate over the peanut butter, sealing the filling completely.
- Tap the pan gently again to level the chocolate.
- Refrigerate the cups for at least 1-2 hours until fully set.
Serve
- Carefully remove the hardened peanut butter cups from the molds or liners.
- Let them sit at room temperature for a few minutes before eating to enhance the creamy texture.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
