If you're like me and child negative but trick or treating as an aged fermented sperm demon is frowned upon, even though most middle school kids are taller, and the last resort of a free candy van isn't interested in you, then for at home Halloween make some of these peanut butter cups 🤣
These are super easy…If you bain-marie or double boiler (or if what you do have is just too big) use a couple of pots or a stainless bowl and a pot, I find pot works better than a bowl because it has a handle.
Melt a 16oz bag (or whatever the closest size you can find is) of chocolate chips using the method above. While those melt, in a separate bowl mix 1/2 cup peanut butter, 2 tbsp softened butter, and 1/4 cup confectioners sugar until creamy.
Line a muffin pan with wrappers then layer the melted chocolate, peanut butter mix, and a top layer of melted chocolate, spread the top layer around for full coverage and chill until they firm up. This makes a dozen so you can eyeball it like I did or measure out 12 equal parts of each layer but that takes too long.
Optional: Top them with a caramel rocketship 🤣 mix equal parts brown sugar and butter until smooth, add a splash of cream, and vanilla extract to taste, then let it cool until it's thick enough to not run off the top but not cool enough to clog your squirt bottle.

I bet those are super tasty. Those rocket ships are a little sus though haha
Really thought you could just sneak those by us, huh🧐🧐🧐
I’ll eat one, but I’ll keep my socks on just in case
the chocolate to peanut butter ratio looks great!!! I’ve always been wary of trying to make these at home because the chocolate always seems so thick

I make these every year at Christmas and use peanut butter fudge in the middle.
And the jingle still works! “Homemade…, peanut butter cups!”
Those look tasty as hell. The only note I’d give you is to temper the chocolate. You’ll get a much better texture if you do, and the chocolate will be a little prettier when it hardens.
Was really interested in how you made these, then got to the toppers and lost it. Well done.
Looking sweet
Tempting😋

So! Bare with me [no there’s not a bear with me]. These do not look appealing at all. However; my bet is they taste wonderful. Fantastic effort. Thanks for the recipe.
The caramel penises were a nice touch 😀
Looks yum!
oh my my, going to make these for halloween
Would eat… oh wait a second, what?
