Total Time: 15 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 24 cups
Ingredients
- 1 package mini phyllo cups
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 cup chocolate chips
- 1/4 cup vegetable oil
Instructions
- Prepare your workspace by gathering all ingredients and equipment, including a microwave-safe bowl, mixing spoon, and mini phyllo cups.
- In a medium mixing bowl, combine creamy peanut butter and powdered sugar. Mix thoroughly until the mixture becomes smooth and well-incorporated, creating a consistent peanut butter filling.
- Spoon the peanut butter mixture into each mini phyllo cup, filling them approximately 2/3 full. Use a small spoon or piping bag for precise and neat filling.
- In a separate microwave-safe bowl, combine chocolate chips and vegetable oil. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between each interval, until the chocolate is completely melted and smooth.
- Carefully pour the melted chocolate over the peanut butter-filled phyllo cups, ensuring complete coverage of the peanut butter layer.
- Place the filled cups in the refrigerator for 10-15 minutes to allow the chocolate to set and become firm.
- Remove from refrigerator and let sit at room temperature for 2-3 minutes before serving to achieve the perfect texture.
- Serve and enjoy your homemade Reese's Peanut Butter Cup Minis!
Tips
- Ingredient Prep: Before you start, make sure all your ingredients are at room temperature. This will help the peanut butter and powdered sugar mix more smoothly.
- Filling Technique: For a neat filling, consider using a piping bag or a zip-top bag with a corner snipped off. This will allow you to fill the phyllo cups without making a mess.
- Chocolate Melting: When melting the chocolate chips, be patient! Stirring every 30 seconds prevents the chocolate from burning and ensures a silky-smooth texture.
- Chilling Time: Don’t rush the chilling process! Allow the filled cups to sit in the refrigerator for at least 10-15 minutes. This helps the chocolate set properly and makes for a better bite.
- Serving Suggestion: For an extra touch, sprinkle some crushed peanuts or sea salt on top of the chocolate before it sets for added flavor and texture.
- Storage: If you have leftovers (which is rare!), store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week. They’re perfect for a quick sweet treat anytime!
