  • Total Time: 50 minutes
  • Yield: 12 cups 1x

Description

Make your own homemade Reese’s Cups with this easy no-bake recipe! Enjoy the perfect blend of creamy peanut butter and rich chocolate, customizable to your taste.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups chocolate chips or melting chocolate
  • 1/2 cup peanut butter (creamy or crunchy)
  • 1/4 cup powdered sugar
  • 2 tbsp butter, melted
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Chocolate: Melt the chocolate chips using a double boiler or microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth.
  2. Coat the Cupcake Liners: Line a muffin tin with paper liners and spoon a small amount of melted chocolate into each liner, spreading it slightly up the sides. Place in the refrigerator to harden.
  3. Make the Peanut Butter Filling: In a bowl, mix peanut butter, powdered sugar, melted butter, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt until smooth.
  4. Form the Peanut Butter Disks: Roll small amounts of the peanut butter mixture into discs that fit inside the chocolate-coated liners.
  5. Assemble the Cups: Place a peanut butter disk into each chocolate shell. Cover with more melted chocolate and spread evenly to seal.
  6. Chill & Set: Refrigerate the cups for about 30 minutes or until completely set.
  7. Enjoy: Peel off the liners and indulge in your homemade Reese’s Cups!

Notes

  • Dark Chocolate: Use dark chocolate for a richer, less sweet version.
  • Crunchy Peanut Butter: Swap creamy peanut butter for crunchy to add texture.
  • Nut-Free Option: Replace peanut butter with sunflower seed butter or almond butter.
  • Extra Flavor: Add a sprinkle of sea salt or a drizzle of caramel for an extra twist.
