Easy Homemade Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups Recipe 🍫🥜
Hey friends! Do you love Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups? You know, those yummy chocolate candies with peanut butter inside? Guess what — you can make them at home! It’s super easy, and you only need a few ingredients. Plus, homemade ones taste even better because you can make them just how you like! Let’s get started.
🍫 What You’ll Need (Ingredients)
- Milk Chocolate Chips - These make the outside shell. You can use dark chocolate if you like it less sweet.
- Peanut Butter - Smooth peanut butter works best, but crunchy is okay too.
- Powdered Sugar - This makes the peanut butter filling sweet and a little thicker.
- Coconut Oil - This helps the chocolate melt smoothly and gives it a shiny finish.
🍴 How to Make It (Step-by-Step)
Step 1: Get Your Molds Ready
- Take a muffin tin and line it with cupcake liners. Or, if you have silicone candy molds, use those. They’re easy to pop out later!
Step 2: Melt the Chocolate
- Put half the chocolate chips and 1 tablespoon of coconut oil in a microwave-safe bowl.
- Microwave for 15 seconds, then stir.
- Keep microwaving for 15 seconds at a time (stir every time!) until the chocolate is completely melted and smooth.
Step 3: Make the Bottom Layer
- Spoon some melted chocolate into each mold. Use the spoon to spread it across the bottom and a little up the sides.
- Pop the molds into the freezer for about 10 minutes so the chocolate gets hard.
Step 4: Make the Peanut Butter Filling
- In a bowl, mix peanut butter and powdered sugar. Stir until it’s nice and smooth. If you like it sweeter, you can add a bit more sugar.
Step 5: Fill the Cups
- Take your molds out of the freezer.
- Add a spoonful of the peanut butter mix into each mold. Use the back of the spoon to press it down a little bit.
Step 6: Cover with More Chocolate
- Melt the rest of your chocolate chips with a little more coconut oil (same way as before).
- Spoon that melted chocolate over the peanut butter filling to cover the top.
- Back into the freezer they go — this time for about 15-20 minutes.
🎉 Time to Eat!
Once they’re nice and firm, take them out of the molds and enjoy! You just made your own homemade Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups — how cool is that? 😎
⭐ Helpful Tips
- Use good chocolate! It really makes a difference.

🍽️ What to Eat With Them
- Milk - Classic combo!
- Coffee - If you’re making these for grown-ups, coffee and chocolate go great together.

📦 Storing Your Treats
- Keep them in a container at room temperature for about a week.
- Want them to last longer? Pop them in the fridge, and they’ll be good for two weeks.
- Want them warm? Microwave for just 10-15 seconds (but be careful — they melt fast).
