Create your own delicious peanut butter cups with this easy recipe. Perfect for kids and parties, these no-bake treats are a fun DIY candy project.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup or honey (optional, for natural sweetness)
  • 1/4 cup powdered sugar (optional, for natural sweetness)
  • Mini peanut butter cup molds or a mini muffin tin

Instructions

  1. Melt the chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until smooth.
  2. In a separate bowl, mix the peanut butter with maple syrup and powdered sugar, if using, until well combined.
  3. Spoon a small amount of melted chocolate into the bottom of each mold or mini muffin cup, coating the sides slightly.
  4. Add a teaspoon of the peanut butter mixture to the center of each chocolate-lined mold.
  5. Top with the remaining melted chocolate, ensuring the peanut butter filling is covered.
  6. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or until firm.
  7. Carefully remove from molds and enjoy your homemade peanut butter cups.

Notes

  • For a spooky Halloween touch, you can add orange or black food coloring to some of the melted chocolate before molding.
  • Decorate with sprinkles or edible candy eyes after the chocolate has set.
  • This recipe is easily scalable for larger batches.
  • Use natural peanut butter for a healthier option.
