Say NO to Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups and say YES to making your own just the way you like. Why? Because they taste fresh, you can use your favorite chocolate, your favorite nut butter, you can decide how sweet you want them & you can use a touch of coconut oil instead of butter! ♥

Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups Ingredients: GROSS

INGREDIENTS: 4 ingredients

16 oz chocolate in block or chip form ( I prefer non-dairy dark chocolate)
1/2 cup creamy peanut butter ( I prefer natural with the only ingredients being peanuts and salt. You can use almond, cashew butter etc.)
2 tbsp butter, softened ( I prefer to use coconut oil because I can’t have butter)
1/4 cup confectioner’s sugar ( more or less to your liking)

DIRECTIONS: 6 steps

Line a muffin tin with 12 liners
Divide chocolate (block or chips) into two halves. Put half in a bowl & microwave for 15 seconds at a time while stirring in between. DO NOT BURN your chocolate!
Spoon out chocolate into muffin liners. No more than a spoonful. I tend to only make 9 peanut butter cups because I use too much chocolate. Lightly drop the pan on the counter & shake the pan around to help flatten out the chocolate. Then put in the freezer for 10 minutes.
Next, prepare the peanut butter by combining peanut butter, oil & sugar. I hand mix them until smooth. (Electric mixers just mean more dishes)
Now put a scoop of peanut butter mixture onto the layer of chocolate & repeat the dropping & shaking racket. The peanut butter will freeze fast so don’t wait until you’ve filled all the liners to flatten. Return to freezer for 10 min.
Melt the second batch of chocolate & add the last layer to the peanut butter cups and put back into the freezer. Enjoy soon after! ( keep refrigerated)
Melt your chocolate

Mix peanut butter, sugar & oil

After the first layer is frozen, get ready for layer 2!

Add layer 2. Shake & drop pan to flatten out

Layer 2 is frozen, now add layer 3

Time to enjoy!
