⭐ Tips
- Since the chocolate doesn’t have any stabilizers added, it melts quickly. Keep under refrigeration at all times.
- If using chocolate chips instead of bar, add a tablespoon of vegetable or coconut oil, while melting. It prevents seizing.
Variations
If honey roasted peanut butter is not available, use regular peanut butter. Add a tablespoon of honey or maple syrup and warm in the microwave for 30 seconds till soft. Mix well and use it as per the recipe.
You can just as easily make these for other holidays like Christmas or Easter. All you need to do is use festive muffin papers and sprinkles.
😋 Dessert Recipes
These Halloween Chocolate Covered Strawberries are another fun Halloween treat. Like these peanut butter cups, the strawberries can be dressed up for any special occasion. For example, try white chocolate and heart sprinkles for Valentine's Day!
These peanut butter cups make a great addition to a Halloween snack board along with fresh fruit, chocolate-dipped pretzels, and Halloween candies.
