How To Make Your Own {Healthy} Peanut Butter Cups

Homemade Chocolate Peanut Butter Cups

Ingredients

• 1 bag Vegan Chocolate chips (Trader Joe’s)
• Natural Peanut Butter (Costco)
• Vanilla

Directions

1. Place cupcake liners in a muffin pan.
2. Add 1/2 bag of the chocolate chips to a microwave safe bowl and melt them in microwave for approx 1-2 minutes (watch carefully so they don’t burn).  Stir.
3. Then put 2 heaping tablespoons of peanut butter in a separate microwavable bowl and add approx 1 tbsp of vanilla to it.
4. Warm peanut butter mixture up in microwave so it turns to liquid (about 30 seconds).  Stir.

Next grab a small spoon and add a little chocolate to coat the bottom of each liner and then add a little peanut butter mixture next.

Then melt the remaining chocolate chips to cover the peanut butter center.

Freeze and enjoy.

We made 14 but only had 1 bag of chocolate chips and it wasn’t enough to cover the peanut butter (as you see in the pictures). But it was still yummy!

Tip:  Keep the homemade chocolate peanut butter cups in the freezer or they get really soft and don’t turn out as well.  Take out to soften as needed!
