Description

A show-stopping homemade treat that tastes like an oversized, fresher version of the classic candy, perfect for parties and special occasions.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1012 ounces (280–340 g) chocolate (dark, milk, or dairy-free)
  • 1 1/2 cups smooth peanut butter
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 3 tablespoons melted butter
  • A pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Start by melting the chocolate in a double boiler or microwave in 30-second bursts, stirring in between.
  2. Brush an even layer of melted chocolate into a lined 6-inch pan and chill for 15–20 minutes to set; repeat for a thicker shell.
  3. Mix together the peanut butter, powdered sugar, melted butter, and salt until smooth.
  4. Spread the peanut butter filling onto the set chocolate shell and chill for 10 minutes.
  5. Pour the remaining melted chocolate over the filling, smooth it out, and chill until fully firm (about 30–45 minutes).
  6. Unmold the giant cup, trim edges if needed, and serve.

Notes

For a glossy shell, consider tempering the chocolate. Use an offset spatula for even layers and chill between layers to prevent seepage.
