Homemade Reese's Peanut Butter Cups

I created this recipe out of necessity. Because I am addicted to Reese's Peanut Butter Cups but they're pretty expensive here in Sydney!

Prep Time: 15 minutes

Total Time: 15 minutes

Servings: 30

Ingredients

1 cup / 250g smooth peanut butter

60g / 4 tbsp unsalted butter

1/4 cup / 55g brown sugar

1 cup / 120g icing sugar (powdered sugar) (see notes)

500 g /16 oz chocolate (for melting, not eating chocolate)

Instructions

Step 01
Line 3 x 12 hole mini muffin tins with paper patties.
Step 02
Combine peanut butter, butter and sugar in a small saucepan over medium heat. Heat until melted, stirring constantly, until it starts to bubble gently. Remove from heat and add the powdered sugar 1/4 cup at a time, stirring vigorously to dissolve into the peanut butter mixture.
Step 03
Set the peanut butter filling aside to cool (refrigerate to speed up the process).
Step 04
Melt half the chocolate in the microwave in 30 second bursts, stirring in between.
Step 05
Pour about 1 1/2 to 2 tsp of melted chocolate into each muffin cup.
Step 06
Scoop up one slightly heaped tsp of the peanut butter filling and roll into a ball then flatten slightly. The disc should be smaller than the muffin cup diameter as you want chocolate to cover the side of the peanut butter filling. Place into the centre of the muffin cup. Repeat with remaining peanut butter filling.
Step 07
Refrigerate for 20 minutes until the chocolate is set.
Step 08
Melt the remaining chocolate in the microwave in 30 second bursts, stirring in between.
Step 09
Pour about 1 1/2 to 2 tsp of melted chocolate into each muffin cup, covering the peanut butter filling. Gently bang the muffin tin on the counter top to even out the surface of each peanut butter cup.
Step 10
Refrigerate for 20 minutes until the chocolate is set.
Step 11
Remove paper patties and serve.
