Instructions

Step 1: Melt the Chocolate

Place your semi-sweet chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat in 30-second increments, stirring after each interval, until fully melted and smooth.

Step 2: Prep the Base

Line a cupcake tin with liners and pour a thin layer of melted chocolate into each liner. Tap the tin gently to level the chocolate. Refrigerate for 10 minutes or until set.

Step 3: Mix the Peanut Butter Filling

In a mixing bowl, combine the creamy peanut butter, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth and creamy. Fold in half of the mini Reese’s Pieces and dark chocolate chunks for added texture.

Step 4: Assemble the Truffle Cups

Scoop the peanut butter mixture into small balls and place one in each chocolate base. Gently press to flatten slightly. Pour another layer of melted chocolate over the peanut butter filling, smoothing the tops with a spoon.

Step 5: Decorate

Sprinkle the remaining Reese’s Pieces and dark chocolate chunks on top for a colorful, crunchy finish.

Step 6: Chill and Serve

Refrigerate the truffle cups for 20–30 minutes or until fully set. Peel off the liners and enjoy these delightful Reese’s bites!

Notes

Use High-Quality Ingredients: Opt for premium chocolate chips and fresh peanut butter for the best flavor.
Adjust Sweetness: If you prefer a less sweet filling, reduce the powdered sugar slightly.
Uniform Layers: Use a piping bag to pour melted chocolate for neat and even layers.
