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
- 10–12 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
- Start by melting the chocolate in a double boiler or microwave in 30-second bursts, stirring in between.
- 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.
- Mix together the peanut butter, powdered sugar, melted butter, and salt until smooth.
- Spread the peanut butter filling onto the set chocolate shell and chill for 10 minutes.
- Pour the remaining melted chocolate over the filling, smooth it out, and chill until fully firm (about 30–45 minutes).
- 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.
