Steps

Read instructions and get ready to cook

1
Prepare the chocolate

Chop 12 oz of dark chocolate into small pieces and place them in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave the chocolate in 30-second intervals, stirring between each interval, until the chocolate is completely melted and smooth.

2
Prepare the peanut butter filling

In a separate bowl, mix together 1/2 cup of creamy peanut butter and 1/4 cup of powdered sugar until well combined.

3
Line a muffin tin

Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners.

4
Add the chocolate base

Spoon about 1 tablespoon of the melted chocolate into each paper liner, using the back of the spoon to spread the chocolate evenly along the bottom and slightly up the sides of the liner.

5
Add the peanut butter filling

Place about 1 teaspoon of the peanut butter mixture in the center of each chocolate-lined cup, gently pressing it down to create an even layer.

6
Cover with chocolate

Spoon the remaining melted chocolate over the peanut butter filling, making sure to cover it completely and fill the cups to the top.

7
Chill the peanut butter cups

Place the muffin tin in the refrigerator and chill for at least 1 hour, or until the chocolate has set and the cups are firm.

8
Serve and enjoy

Once set, remove the peanut butter cups from the muffin tin and peel off the paper liners. Serve the 3-ingredient Peanut Butter Cups chilled or at room temperature. Enjoy the delightful blend of rich chocolate and creamy peanut butter in every bite!
