White Chocolate Peanut Butter Cups with Mixed Nuts
These easy white chocolate peanut butter cups combine creamy peanut butter with smooth white chocolate and crunchy mixed nuts for a delicious sweet-and-salty no-bake treat. They’re a fun twist on classic peanut butter cups!
Equipment
- freezer/fridge
- microwave
Ingredients
- 16 oz vegan white chocolate
- 1 Tbsp coconut oil
- 2/3 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1/2 cup mixed nuts, roughly chopped
Instructions
- Melt the chocolate: Add the white chocolate and coconut oil to a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in 20–30 second intervals, stirring well between each, until completely smooth and melted.
- Make the chocolate shells: Line a muffin pan with paper liners or use a silicone muffin mold. Spoon a layer of melted white chocolate into the bottom of each cup, spreading it slightly up the sides.
- Add the peanut butter: Spoon the peanut butter into the center of each chocolate layer, keeping it away from the edges.
- Cover with chocolate: Spoon the remaining melted white chocolate over the peanut butter, making sure each cup is completely covered.
- Add the nuts: Sprinkle the chopped mixed nuts over the tops while the chocolate is still melted. Gently press them into the chocolate if needed.
- Chill: Refrigerate for 1–2 hours, or until the chocolate is completely firm.
- Serve: Remove from the liners or molds and enjoy!
Notes
Notes
- Chocolate: White chocolate can burn easily, so melt it slowly and stir frequently.
- Peanut butter: Creamy peanut butter gives the smoothest filling, but crunchy peanut butter can be used for even more texture.
- Mixed nuts: Use your favorite combination of nuts. Almonds, cashews, pecans, and walnuts all work well.
- Storage: Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week. Let them sit at room temperature for a few minutes before serving for a softer bite.
