Spooky Peanut Butter Cups for Halloween

These peanut butter cups are made with a rich chocolate shell and a smooth peanut butter center, decorated to look like little ghosts or monsters. The recipe takes about 30 minutes to prepare and sets in the refrigerator, making it a quick and festive treat for your Halloween celebrations.

Ingredients

1 cup creamy peanut butter
1/2 cup powdered sugar
1 cup chocolate chips
1 tablespoon coconut oil
Candy eyes for decoration
White chocolate for drizzling (optional)
Sprinkles for decoration (optional)

Instructions

Prepare the Filling: In a bowl, mix the peanut butter and powdered sugar until smooth and well combined.
Melt the Chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the chocolate chips and coconut oil. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until fully melted and smooth.
Create the Shell: Line a muffin tin with cupcake liners. Pour a small amount of melted chocolate into the bottom of each liner, spreading it to cover the sides. Refrigerate for about 10 minutes to set.
Add the Filling: Once the chocolate shell is set, add a spoonful of the peanut butter mixture into each cup, smoothing it out.
Top with Chocolate: Pour more melted chocolate over the peanut butter filling, ensuring it is fully covered. Tap the tin gently to remove air bubbles and smooth the surface. Refrigerate until fully set, about 30 minutes.
Decorate: Once set, use melted white chocolate to drizzle over the top and add candy eyes or sprinkles for a spooky effect.
Serve: Carefully remove the peanut butter cups from the liners and serve them on a festive platter.
