Peanut Butter & Jelly Cups
Equipment
- Cupcake tin
- Cupcake cases
- Bowls
- Spoon
Ingredients
- 300 grams Chocolate Milk or Dark
- 80 grams Peanut Buttter Smooth
- 60 grams Icing sugar
- 20 grams Butter Soft
- ¼ tsp Vanilla extract
- 80 grams Jam I used strawberry
Instructions
- Place 10 cupcake cases into a cupcake tin then place in the fridge till you prep the rest of your ingredients.
- In a small bowl, add in your soft butter and peanut butter. Whisk together till nice and smooth and combined.
- Add in your vanillla and icing sugar and mix till you have a soft dough. Set aside.
- Melt your chocolate in short blasts in the microwave till smooth. Leave to cool for a few minutes.
- Remove your tin from the fridge and place about 1 tbsp of melted chocolate in the bottom of each case nice and flat. Place back into the fridge for 5/10 minutes.
- While your chocolate is setting mould the peanut dough into 10 even balls. Dont worry if its a little soft and sticky! Place them onto a sheet of baking paper once done.
- Remove your cupcake tin from the fridge. Take each ball and flat down slightly, you want the circle to be slighlty smaller than your chocolate so you can form a chocolate wall around the edge. Place on top of your slighlty hardened chocolate.
- Once you have all your peanut butter dough done, slighlty re-melt your chocolate if needed.
- This next step you want to work fast as you want to seal in your jam. Doing one cup at a time, spoon on a little jam on top of your peanut butter then quickly top with more melted chocolate. I start by pouring around the egdges first then fill the top with chocolate.
- Repeat with all your cups then give the tray a jiggle and a tap to flatten down the chocolate.
- Place your tray back in the fridge for about 1 hour to set.
- Enjoy!
