Ingredients

Scale

Chocolate Layer

  • 1¾ cups semi-sweet chocolate chips (Ghirardelli brand 12-ounce bag, divided into ¾ cup and 1 cup)

Peanut Butter Filling

  • ½ cup creamy peanut butter (Reese’s brand)
  • 6 tablespoons powdered sugar
  • 1½ tablespoons unsalted butter (room temperature)
  • 4 tablespoons marshmallow creme (Jet-Puffed brand)

Instructions

  1. Prepare Cupcake Liners: Line 12 standard-sized muffin cups with cupcake liners and set aside to get ready for the assembly process.
  2. Melt Chocolate: In a small microwave-safe bowl, place ¾ cup of semi-sweet chocolate chips. Melt by heating in 30-second intervals, stirring between each until smooth. This usually takes between 1½ to 2 minutes depending on your microwave.
  3. Create Chocolate Base: Using a small spoon, scoop about ½ tablespoon of the melted chocolate into each cupcake liner. Spread gently into an even layer, careful to keep chocolate off the upper sides of the liners.
  4. Freeze Chocolate Base: Place the lined muffin tin in the freezer for 10 minutes to set the chocolate layer firmly.
  5. Prepare Peanut Butter Filling: While the chocolate freezes, combine ½ cup creamy peanut butter, 6 tablespoons powdered sugar, 1½ tablespoons unsalted butter, and 4 tablespoons marshmallow creme into a medium bowl. Beat with a handheld mixer at medium speed until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
  6. Add Peanut Butter Filling: Remove the muffin tin from the freezer. Scoop 2 teaspoons of peanut butter filling onto the center of each chocolate layer. Use a spoon to gently spread and flatten the filling evenly without touching the sides of the cupcake liners.
  7. Freeze Assembled Cups: Return the muffin tin to the freezer for another 10 minutes to set the peanut butter filling.

Notes

  • Use good quality semi-sweet chocolate chips for the best flavor and smooth texture.
  • Do not let the peanut butter filling touch the sides of the cupcake liners to ensure clean edges once set.
  • If you prefer a firmer texture, allow the cups to chill longer after assembly before serving.
  • Store the finished cups in an airtight container in the refrigerator to maintain freshness.
  • These cups are best enjoyed within 3-4 days for optimal taste and texture.
