Ingredients
Before you start, gather the following ingredients:
– 1 cup chocolate chips
– 1/2 cup peanut butter
– 1/2 cup powdered sugar
– 1/4 cup powdered milk
– 1/4 cup butter, softened
– 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
– 1/4 teaspoon salt
Instructions
1. Begin by melting the chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat the chocolate chips in 30-second intervals, stirring after each interval, until completely melted. Alternatively, you can melt the chocolate chips in a double boiler over low heat.
2. In a separate bowl, mix together the peanut butter, powdered sugar, powdered milk, butter, vanilla extract, and salt. Stir until well combined and smooth.
3. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or wax paper. Spoon small amounts of the peanut butter mixture onto the baking sheet, creating a circle shape. You can use the back of a spoon to smooth out the mixture if needed.
4. Drizzle the melted chocolate over the peanut butter circles. You can use a spoon or a small spatula to spread the chocolate evenly.
5. Place the baking sheet in the refrigerator for 15-20 minutes, or until the chocolate has hardened.
6. Once the chocolate has hardened, you can remove the peanut butter cups from the baking sheet. They should easily come off the parchment paper or wax paper.
7. Store the Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups in an airtight container in the refrigerator. They will keep for up to a week.
