Description
Delicious no-bake Strawberry Peanut Butter Cups that are easy to make and a perfect sweet treat combining the flavors of strawberry and peanut butter.
Ingredients
For the Cups
- 1.5 cups Chocolate chips (semi sweet or milk chocolate)
- 1 to 2 teaspoons Coconut oil or butter (Helps the chocolate melt smooth)
- 0.5 cups Creamy peanut butter
- 2 to 4 tablespoons Powdered sugar (Depending on how sweet you like it)
- 1/3 cups Freeze dried strawberries (crushed) or strawberry jam (Use 2 to 3 tablespoons if using jam)
- 1 pinch Salt
- 12 cups Mini cupcake liners or silicone candy molds (For shaping cups)
Instructions
Preparation
- Melt chocolate chips with coconut oil in the microwave in 20 to 30 second bursts, stirring each time until smooth and glossy.
- Line a muffin tin with paper liners or set silicone molds on a tray.
- Add about 1 teaspoon of melted chocolate to each liner and tilt it to coat the bottom. Place the tray in the fridge for 5 to 10 minutes to set.
- Crush freeze dried strawberries in a zip top bag using a rolling pin.
- In a bowl, mix peanut butter, powdered sugar, crushed freeze dried strawberries (or jam), and a pinch of salt until thick but spreadable.
Assembly
- Spoon the peanut butter filling into each cup and flatten gently.
- Cover each with additional melted chocolate and tap the pan lightly to smooth the tops.
- Chill until firm, usually 30 to 45 minutes.
Notes
Strawberry Peanut Butter Cups can be made in silicone molds for easy removal. They taste best slightly chilled, straight from the fridge.
