Sweet Treats In American Styles (part 2) – Chocolate Peanut Butter Cups

Chocolate Peanut Butter Cups

Here’s an easy-peasy take on Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups.

Ingredients

·        
1tbsp coconut oil

·        
280g dark chocolate, chopped

·        
150g peanut butter

Recipe

·        
In a saucepan, melt the coconut oil and chocolate over a low
heat. Mix with a spatula until smooth. Stack several small paper cases inside
one another to help keep the paper pleat intact – otherwise, the pressure of
the chocolate pushes out the sides and distorts the shape. Make 15 stacks for
the ‘cups’.

·        
Using a ratio of 2 parts chocolate to 1 part peanut butter, pour
a little of the chocolateoil mixture into the bottom of the paper case stacks
and allow the mixture to set in the fridge for a few minutes.

·        
Put a little peanut butter into the middle of each cup, then
cover each one with more of the chocolate-oil mixture. Place them all in the
freezer for at least 10 mins.

·        
Once the peanut butter cups have frozen solid, remove the extra
reinforcing layers of paper cases. Take the cups out of the freezer a minute or
so before serving.
