Description
These S’mores Peanut Butter Cups are an irresistible blend of classic s’mores and creamy peanut butter cups. Layers of rich chocolate, salty-sweet peanut butter, crunchy graham cracker, and toasted marshmallow create an unforgettable treat.
Ingredients
- 1¾ cups (about 10 oz) high-quality chocolate melting wafers or chopped chocolate
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter, divided
- 1 tsp vegetable shortening (optional, for chocolate)
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter (Jif, Skippy recommended)
- ½ cup powdered sugar
- ½ cup graham cracker crumbs
- 1 cup marshmallow fluff (or marshmallow creme)
Instructions
- Line a 12-cup standard muffin tin with paper or foil cupcake liners.
- Melt 1.5 cups of chocolate wafers with 1 tbsp butter and optional shortening using a double boiler or 50% power in the microwave, stirring until smooth.
- Spoon 1-2 tbsp melted chocolate into each liner, spreading up the sides. Chill for 10-15 minutes until set.
- In a mixing bowl, combine peanut butter, powdered sugar, graham cracker crumbs, and remaining 1 tbsp softened butter. Mix until a firm, pliable dough forms.
- Roll peanut butter mixture into 12 disks and place one into each chilled chocolate cup, pressing gently.
- Melt the remaining ¼ cup chocolate wafers. Drizzle 1-2 tsp over each peanut butter disk to seal. Chill for 15-20 minutes until firm.
- Remove cups from the fridge. Top each with a generous dollop of marshmallow fluff.
- Using a kitchen torch or broiler (watching carefully!), toast the marshmallow tops until golden brown.
- Let cool for a few minutes before serving, or chill until ready to enjoy.
