Alright, folks, gather ’round, because today we’re diving into the world of homemade Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups. Yeah, you heard that right – we’re making our own! And let me tell you, it’s easier than you might think.
First things first, I grabbed my muffin tin and lined each cup with those little paper liners. Now, I was aiming for about 16 to 18 of these bad boys, so I made sure to prep enough liners.
Next up, the chocolate. I had these chocolate wafers lying around, so I dumped them all into a microwave-safe bowl. I zapped them for about 30 seconds, gave it a good stir, and then kept nuking them in 10-second bursts. You gotta keep an eye on it and stir in between, otherwise, you’ll end up with a burnt mess. Trust me, I’ve been there.
While the chocolate was doing its thing, I moved on to the peanut butter filling. In another bowl, I combined some peanut butter, a bit of butter, and a heap of powdered sugar. Now, you can either melt this over a water bath or just pop it in the microwave like I did. Either way, you want it nice and smooth.
Once the chocolate was all melted and the peanut butter filling was ready, it was time to assemble. I spooned a bit of the melted chocolate into the bottom of each liner, making sure to spread it around evenly. Then, I plopped a dollop of the peanut butter mixture right on top of the chocolate layer. Finally, I covered it all up with more melted chocolate, sealing in that peanut buttery goodness.
Now comes the hard part – waiting. I stuck the whole tray in the fridge to let the chocolate set. It felt like forever, but after about an hour, they were firm enough to handle.
And there you have it!
