PEANUT BUTTER CUPS

Homemade Peanut Butter Cups made with very few ingredients! This recipe is very easy, simple and quick. If you want to surprise your kids then nothing is better than to make Peanut Butter Cups at home with this recipe. If you've never made homemade peanut butter cups before, you are in for a real treat!!!! Not only are they 1,000,000 times tastier than the store brought ones, they are also a blast to make a super friggin easy. As soon as I saw that you can make these easy peanut butter cups I had to make them. My younger daughter loves to cook and help me in the kitchen. She used to watch food channels with me. We had much fun making these for gifting my nephews and niece. My daughter was so happy as she gifted homemade peanut butter cups to her cousins made by her. Earlier I shared the recipe of 'Homemade Peanut Butter' at home and used the same for this recipe. To create the chocolate coating you need a double boiler. The combination of milk and dark chocolate is absolutely perfect. I'd stick with the amount mentioned in the recipe.I had all of the ingredients on hand and the best part is that we put them together in just 20 minutes and believe me the result was even better than expectations!!! They taste much better and they are fun to make....!!!

INGREDIENTS:

1 Cup Smooth Peanut Butter

2 Ounce Unsalted Butter [50 gm]

¼ Cup Brown Sugar

1 Cup Powder Sugar [white]

16 Ounce Melted Chocolate [around 450 gm]

STEP 1 – Line mini muffin pan with mini paper muffin liners.

STEP 2 – Melt butter in a sauce pan over medium heat.
