Home-made Peanut Butter Cups!

I have to admit peanut butter and chocolate is a weakness of mine, so when I saw a recipe for three ingredient home-made peanut butter cups I had to try them. It just seemed so much cuter than scooping peanut butter out of the jar and sprinkling chocolate chips on top – which I do from time to time! These PB cups are perfect for a quick snack, the perfect portion size,  and they satisfy the peanut butter chocolate craving.

They are super easy to make and would be a great gift to bring to a party especially if the hostess is a fan of these flavours. In fact, I would suggest only making these if you have people to share them with because (ahem) you might just end up eating more than a few if you are all alone with these babies!  (speaking form experience here!)

Although I like Reese’s PB cups, I purposely made these less sweet and used dark bittersweet chocolate instead of milk. This is purely personal preference. I LOVE dark chocolate that isn’t too sweet. You could also use natural peanut butter if you would like them to be a little healthier. This recipe makes 12 small PB cups. I used a standard mini muffin tin with liners and it worked perfectly. I stored them in a ziplock bag in the refrigerator and they keep for a least a week – at the ready for easy snacking  – home-made – and much better than eating an entire candy bar right?
