How to Make Chocolate Peanut Butter Fudge Cups
You won’t believe how easy these are to make! Check it out:
Line
Pop muffin liners into a muffin pan and set it aside at room temp. Now, clear some room in the freezer for this pan—you’ll need it later.
Melt
Melt chocolate and peanut butter in a microwave-safe bowl for the microwave method, or use the double boiler method. Make sure to stir everything together until you get a smooth chocolate peanut butter fudge mixture. Fold in peanuts.
Scoop
Scoop your chocolate peanut butter fudge mixture into the muffin pan you prepped earlier. Fill cups evenly, then tap a few times to level it out. Top with peanuts if you’re feeling fancy.
Freeze & Enjoy
Freeze until firm and enjoy the easiest, tastiest chocolate peanut butter fudge treat!
💡 You can make these chocolate peanut butter fudge cups your own by: 1) using your favorite chocolate (hint: dark chocolate anyone?), 2) using almond butter instead, 3) topping these babies with your favorite seed or dried fruit.
The 3 ingredients you need
- Chocolate: use any kind you’d like. Here are my vegan | keto (sugar free) | paleo | allergy-friendly picks.
- Peanut Butter: I love using unsalted, natural creamy peanut butter in these fudge cups. You can use salted if you’d like a salty ‘n sweet treat. 😉
- Peanuts: ahhh, the yummy texture factor from these! If you’re not a fan, no biggie. Just leave ‘em out.
Storing & Freezing
Fridge: go ahead and store your fudge cups in the fridge for about 1-2 weeks. Just make sure to tuck them into an airtight container away from savory, aromatic foods in the fridge.
Freezer: if you’d like to keep your fudge cups for longer, simply tuck them into a freezer-friendly container, then into the freezer for about 1-2 months.
Deliciously thick chocolate peanut butter fudge cups made with just a few minutes of prep & 3 simple ingredients.
So did I blow your fudgin’ mind or no? 😉 Ooooh… lemme have fun with this!!! Just so you know, I’m so grateful that you’re here, making some sweet memories with me and your loved ones. ‘Til the next kitchen adventure…
