Description
Quick and indulgent no-bake chocolate peanut butter cups with a creamy, crunchy filling and a rich chocolate coating.
Ingredients
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- 2 cups chocolate chips
- 1 cup crispy rice cereal
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil
Instructions
- Melt the chocolate chips with coconut oil in a microwave-safe bowl, heating in short intervals and stirring until smooth.
- In a separate bowl, mix peanut butter, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and crispy rice cereal until well combined.
- Line a muffin tin with paper liners and add a small layer of melted chocolate to the bottom of each cup.
- Add a scoop of the peanut butter mixture on top and gently press it down.
- Cover each cup with more melted chocolate, ensuring the filling is fully sealed.
- Refrigerate for about 30 minutes or until firm and set.
Notes
- Stir natural peanut butter well before using to maintain proper texture.
- Use dark chocolate for a richer and slightly healthier option.
- Add a pinch of sea salt for enhanced flavor contrast.
- Chopped nuts or caramel can be added for variation.
- Let cups sit at room temperature briefly before serving for best texture.
