Steps for making chocolate peanut butter cups
- Cut 400 grams of chocolate, I’ve used big baskets baking chocolate
- Cut them into a uniform size, Keep 1.5 cups separately
- Add half a cup of chunky peanut butter in another bowl
- Add 4 tablespoons of maple syrup to this, mix these ingredients
- Yes I’m wearing a Harry Potter T-shirt
- Do not add any salt, most peanut butters here have salt mixed already
- Add 1/4 teaspoons Ossoro’s French Vanilla Essence and stir
- Add 2 tablespoons of butter to the bowl of chocolate
- You need to melt it in an microwave, with 30 second intervals
- Do not keep it for longer than 30 seconds, take it out and stir it, transfer it back inside a microwave oven
- I had to do it thrice
- It needs to come to this creamy consistency
- This recipe actually yields 8 full sized cups. I tried preparing 12, this quantity wasn’t enough.
- Apply 1 tablespoon of melted chocolate into the cupcake mould, spread it to the edges, this helps in encasing the peanut butter
- I used an offset spatula to spread it to the edges,
- Keep the tray in a freezer for 20 minutes to set
- Add 1 to 1.5 tablespoon of the peanut butter mixture into each cup
- Melt the remainder 1/2 cup of chocolate with a tablespoon of butter, again with 30 second intervals, stir it
- Add 1 to 1.5 tablespoons of the melted chocolate, over the peanut butter using a knife or an offset spatula
- I have levelled the chocolate using the offset spatula
- Keep the dish overnight in the freezer to set hard
- Take them out of the freezer when you are ready to serve, remove the cupcake moulds slowly
- Enjoy it as an evening snack, goes really well with a cup of cocoa or coffee
