Ingredients
Scale
- 1 ½ cups (about 9–10 oz) high-quality dark chocolate (60-75% cacao), chopped
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter (processed, like Jif or Skippy)
- ½ cup powdered sugar
- ¼ cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- ¼ teaspoon fine sea salt
- Mini muffin liners or paper cups
Instructions
- Prepare Cups: Line a mini muffin tin with paper or silicone mini muffin liners.
- Melt Chocolate: Gently melt three-quarters of the chopped dark chocolate in 30-second intervals in the microwave, stirring until smooth. Stir in the remaining chocolate until fully melted.
- First Chocolate Layer: Spoon 1 teaspoon of melted chocolate into each liner, spreading slightly up the sides. Freeze for 5-10 minutes until set.
- Make Peanut Butter Filling: In a bowl, combine peanut butter, powdered sugar, melted butter, vanilla, and salt. Mix until smooth and dough-like.
- Add Peanut Butter: Roll peanut butter mixture into small balls (about 1 tsp), flatten into discs, and place on top of the set chocolate layer in each cup.
- Top with Chocolate: Spoon remaining melted chocolate over the peanut butter, ensuring full coverage. Gently tap the tin to even out.
- Chill and Set: Refrigerate for 30-60 minutes, or until completely firm. Peel off liners and enjoy your homemade dark chocolate Reese’s!
