Ingredients Equipment Method

Ingredients
  

  • 3 1/2 cups powdered sugar
  • 1 1/2 cup peanut butter creamy
  • 4 oz cream cheese softened to room temperature
  • 1/2 cup butter softened to room temperature
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1 pound melting chocolate Alpine milk wafers work great

Equipment

  • Stand mixer or large mixing bowl
  • Rolling Pin
  • Wax or Parchment paper If you don't have either of these, aluminum foil will work just fine
  • Large sheet pan
  • Small round biscuit or cookie cuter I have the Pioneer Woman's set of biscuit cutters and the smallest one in the set works great.

Method
 

  1. Mix together ingredients by hand or in a stand mixer until blended.
  2. Place in freezer for approximately 15 minutes, or until firm. This step ensures that the mixture will roll out smoothly.
  3. Place on wax paper that has been dusted with powdered sugar and roll out to desired thickness with a rolling pin.
  4. Use cutter to cut out peanut butter cups and place on a cookie sheet lined with wax paper. Place in freezer until firm or froze. This will make it easier to handle when dipping into the melted chocolate.
  5. Dip into melted chocolate and place back on wax paper, return to freezer until hardened. These will keep well stored in a container in the Fridge or Freezer
