Homemade peanut butter cups with maple make a great gift for the holidays. Send these yummy treats to your loved ones.
Ingredients
-
4 tablespoons creamy peanut butter
-
4 tablespoons maple syrup
-
2 cups regular-sized chocolate chips
-
Sea salt, optional
-
Mini muffin liners
Directions
In a small bowl, combine the peanut butter and maple syrup, and stir until well blended.
Fill a mini cupcake pan with liners or arrange mini cupcake liners on plates.
Melt the chocolate: either in the microwave in 30-second bursts, stirring after each one, or use a double boiler on the stove.
Fill the bottom of each cup with 1 teaspoon of the melted chocolate.
Add a small dollop of the peanut butter mixture in the center (about ½ teaspoon), then top it with another teaspoon of the chocolate.
Freeze the candies for 5 minutes.
Sprinkle sea salt lightly over the tops (if using), then freeze until firm, about 25 minutes more.
If you won’t be serving them all immediately, transfer them to a container or sealed bag.
Store at room temperature for up to 1 week, or in the refrigerator for up to 2 months.​​
