Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 2 cups semisweet chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. In a medium bowl, mix together the peanut butter and powdered sugar until smooth and fully combined.
  2. Roll the peanut butter mixture into small balls, about 1-inch in diameter, and place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  3. In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the semisweet chocolate chips in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until the chocolate is smooth and fully melted.
  4. Using a spoon, carefully pour the melted chocolate over each peanut butter ball, covering it completely.
  5. Refrigerate the peanut butter cups for at least 30 minutes, or until the chocolate has hardened.
  6. Enjoy your homemade peanut butter cups!

Notes

  • For a twist, you can sprinkle a little sea salt on top of each peanut butter cup before refrigerating.
  • If you don’t have a microwave, you can melt the chocolate using a double boiler on the stove.
  • For a smoother texture, make sure the peanut butter mixture is free of lumps before rolling it into balls.
