Homemade Peanut Butter Cups

Homemade Peanut Butter Cups are made with four simple ingredients and are so simple to make.

Ingredients

• Chocolate Chips – milk chocolate chips give the most authentic flavor, but love switching it up for dark chocolate
• Coconut Oil – helps to give a smooth consistency to the melted chocolate. It can be skipped, but I prefer the texture.
• Peanut Butter – I prefer to use a peanut butter with just peanuts and salt as the ingredients, but use your favorite brand.
• Powdered Sugar – gives the perfect texture for the interior of the peanut butter cups

How to make homemade peanut butter cups

• Line 12 muffin tins with liners, set aside.
• In a small bowl combine peanut butter and powdered sugar. Mix to combine and set aside for later.
• In a small bowl add chocolate chips and coconut oil. Microwave in 20 second increments mixing between each increment until chocolate is completely melted.
• Add 1 tbsp melted chocolate into the bottom of each muffin tin, top with 1 tbsp of peanut butter mixture, and then finish with another 1 tbsp of melted chocolate.
• Tap your muffin tin to level out the chocolate. Set aside to allow the chocolate to harden, you can also put into the refrigerator to speed up the process.
