<h2>Ingredients:</h2>
<div class="wprm-recipe-ingredient-group">
<i><span style="font-weight: 400;">White Chocolate Shell</span></i>
<ul>
         <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;">8 oz. white chocolate, chopped (or white chocolate melts)</span></li>
         <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;">2 tablespoons unflavored oil (like vegetable oil)</span></li>
</ul>
<i><span style="font-weight: 400;">Peanut Butter Filling</span></i>
<ul>
         <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;">½ cup <a href="https://shop.pb2foods.com/products/pb2-powdered-peanut-butter-with-cocoa">PB2 Powdered Peanut Butter with Cocoa</a> (70g)</span></li>
         <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;">¼ cup melted unsalted butter</span></li>

<ol>
         <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Combine the white chocolate and oil in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat in the microwave at 50% power in 30-second bursts until the ingredients are totally melted. Keep an eye on it since white chocolate burns very easily in the microwave.</span></li>
         <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Pour about ½ teaspoon of melted white chocolate into the bottom of each mini muffin tin.</span></li>
         <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Use a spoon or small rubber spatula to spread the white chocolate around the base, as well as the sides. You can also tilt the muffin tin from side to side to spread the chocolate around the entire bottom and sides of each. (Note: At this point, you should only have used about half of the chocolate. This will go on the top of your peanut butter cups!)</span></li>
         <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Place the muffin tin into the fridge, and let chill for 30 minutes, or until the white chocolate has set.</span></li>
         <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;">While the chocolate sets, measure the <a href="https://shop.pb2foods.com/products/pb2-powdered-peanut-butter-with-cocoa">PB2 Powdered Peanut Butter with Cocoa</a> with the melted butter, brown sugar and vanilla extract in a large bowl. Use a hand mixer to blend the ingredients together, and set aside.</span></li>
         <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Remove the white chocolate shells from the refrigerator.</span></li>
         <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Use a cookie scoop to scoop about ½ tablespoon of the filling mixture into your hand, and roll into a ball.</span></li>
         <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Place the peanut butter cocoa mixture in the middle of the white chocolate shell. Flatten slightly with your thumb.</span></li>
         <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Drizzle the top of each peanut butter cup with about a teaspoon of melted white chocolate until the white chocolate covers the peanut butter mixture completely. </span><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">If the white chocolate has hardened, reheat in the microwave in 15-second bursts at 50% power, stirring until it’s spreadable again.</span></i></li>
         <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Let the peanut butter cups set in the refrigerator or freezer for another 15-30 minutes.</span></li>
         <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Pop the peanut butter cups out of the molds and enjoy!</span></li>
</ol>
<h2>Notes:</h2>
<ul>
         <li><span style="font-weight: 400;">Store in the fridge in an airtight container because they become very melty at room temperature.</span></li>
         <li><span style="font-weight: 400;">This recipe is more successful if you use a silicone mini muffin mold because the chocolate will not stick and you will not need parchment paper liners for the tin.</span></li>
</ul>
