5-Ingredient Peanut Butter Cups

If you love peanut butter cups, you will love this recipe. Any where throughout, you can use healthier ingredients, for quilt free peanut butter cups.

Chocolate chips, I prefer dark chocolate chips, but traditional chocolate chips would also be awesome as well. Use any healthier options for your chocolate chips. 

  

Coconut oil, the melting of chocolate with coconut oil helps harden chocolate and makes it more like a shell.

Peanut Butter, I love natural peanut butter, but you can use any nut or seed butter that you like! I've tested various flavors of peanut butter, and they're delicious with fun flavors!

Honey or maple syrup, this sweetens the layer of peanut butter and makes these homemade peanut butter cups taste like the real thing. I also like the taste of them with honey, but you can use maple syrup or agave for a vegan version.

Sea salt,  this component is optional, so if your peanut butter is not salted, I strongly suggest applying a touch of sea salt to the peanut butter mixture or sprinkling flaked sea salt on top of the cups.

Begin by filling a muffin tin with 10-12 paper or silicone liners.   Cover the bottom of each liner with the chocolate that you melted. Put the tray in the freezer so that the chocolate could be set.

Make your layer of peanut butter with peanut butter, honey and coconut oil. Pour over the chocolate and put it in the freezer.

Ladle the remaining chocolate over each cup, ensuring that the layer of peanut butter is fully covered. Position in the freezer for 30 minutes to 1 hour to create a full setup and enjoy!
