Puffins Peanut Butter Cups
They're bigger, and, in our humble opinion, better than the store-bought variety. You might wonder why you ever bothered with anything other than these homemade Puffins® Peanut Butter Cups.
Ingredients
- 1 cup Puffins® Peanut Butter Cereal
- 2/3 cup natural peanut butter
- 5 tablespoons unsalted butter room temperature
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 20 oz. dark chocolate
Instructions
- Mix together the peanut butter, butter, salt and powdered sugar until creamy.
- Place the chocolate in a microwave safe bowl and heat in the microwave for 30 seconds, take out and stir. Repeat this process until the chocolate is completely melted.
- Place cupcake liners in a muffin tin and drop a teaspoon of the melted chocolate on the bottom of each liner. Spread the chocolate across the bottom and push up around the edges. Allow to harden.
- Place 2 teaspoons of the peanut butter filling on the center of the bottoms of each liner and spread out until it’s neatly at the edges.
- Place Puffins Peanut Butter Cereal over the peanut butter mixture.
- Place 2 teaspoons of chocolate over the cereal and peanut butter mixture to ensure they’re completely covered.
- Allow the chocolate to harden and then peel off the liners.
- Enjoy!
