Merry Christmas Eve, everyone.
This morning, I decided to make some peanut butter cups to put in my parent's stockings tomorrow. I based this off of someone else's recipe (I didn't have all of their ingredients...) and I have not actually tried these yet... But hey, how can one go wrong with peanut butter and chocolate? It's impossible!
Bella's PB Cups
-Semi-sweet vegan chocolate chips (look out for milk fat! It's in everything!)
-Peanut butter (reduced fat and creamy. I use organic smucker's and I make it "low fat" by pouring off the oil on top)
-Foil cupcake tins, cut in half
-Salt, optional
I'm not putting down amounts because that's up to you.
Put chocolate chips in a microwavable bowl, and microwave in two thirty-second intervals. Stir. If still chunky, microwave for 15 more seconds. You should not need to microwave any more than this (well, maybe a little longer if you use more than a cup). Take a dollop of chocolate and spread evenly in the bottoms of each foil cup (to your desired thickness). Then, put in the freezer for about ten minutes or until hard.
Measure out the peanut butter, put it into a microwave-safe container, and add salt if desired. Microwave for 45 seconds to a minute (no more than a minute, trust me!). Take a dollop of this and spread over the frozen chocolate. Melt some more chocolate following the instructions above, and spread this carefully over the peanut butter. Freeze for about ten more minutes, and there you go! Peanut butter cups! *Warning: these are BIG peanut butter cups* Enjoy!
