3 Ingredient Peanut Butter Cups

May 13, 2019 Amanda Plott

Who knew that making your own homemade peanut butter cups could be so easy?!

Well, I did! I’ve made a few different versions in the past, but none of them were the classic peanut butter and chocolate. Being as I’m still sticking with that whole ‘keep it simple stupid’ mantra right now, I thought it was high time to make my own traditional peanut butter cups.

So what makes these special? Well, they’re made with just 3 ingredients. Yep! JUST three ingredients. All of which I have on hand at all times in my pantry, and you probably do too.

I think the best part about these peanut butter cups (besides them being crazy easy to make) is that they are versatile. Don’t like peanut butter? Use any kind of nut butter (or cookie butter) to make these bad boys. Don’t like dark chocolate? Try semi- sweet or milk chocolate!

The sky is the limit here. So feel free to experiment.

For me today, I went with a dark chocolate and a vanilla peanut butter. The vanilla peanut butter gave an added (and needed) sweetness to the dark chocolate that I chose to use.

I prefer to keep these stored in the fridge so that they’re nice and cold when I decide that I want a sweet treat. But, they can also be left stored in a cool dry place - such as stashed and hidden away in the back of the pantry where no one else can find them and you don’t have to share. Wink, wink.
