These are truly amazing! I made these Copy Cat Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups as a gift for my husband.. but of course, I had to test one out. Ok, two.. I tested two. And then he gave me one… to share. And then I stole one… but there were still lots left for him!
Anyhow, these are actually really easy to make although they do take some time. The final product came out beautifully and I was so excited to give them as a gift! I used a high-quality milk chocolate which just added to the decadence of these peanut butter cups. You could use dark chocolate or even chocolate chips if that happens to be what you have on hand!
Enjoy… although I don’t think I have to tell you that! ;)

- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1 cup powdered sugar

Instructions
Chocolate
- Melt the chocolate in the microwave on medium power, stirring every 30 seconds. Avoid overheating the chocolate to prevent it from seizing.

Peanut Butter Filling
- In a bowl, combine peanut butter, powdered sugar, salt, and graham crumbs.
- Press approximately 2 teaspoons of the peanut butter mixture into each well, flattening it gently.

I’d love to try this recipe but I don’t see instructions for the peanut butter cup mold…if I use the mold is there any prep work or do you just put the chocolate straight in…how to you get the cups out? thank you
Hi Kathryn, I would follow the instructions as written for the mold. If you are having issues getting them out you could try using a muffin liner. I hope this helps!
