Ingredients
Scale
For the Peanut Butter Layer:
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
For the Marshmallow Filling:
- 1 1/2 cups mini marshmallows
For the Chocolate Coating:

Instructions
-
For the Peanut Butter Layer:
- Prepare the peanut butter mixture:
- In a large bowl, combine the peanut butter, melted butter, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Stir until smooth and well-combined.
- Form the cups:
- Line a muffin tin with cupcake liners. Using a spoon, fill each liner with a spoonful of the peanut butter mixture and press it down to form an even layer. The peanut butter layer should cover the bottom of each liner. Chill in the fridge for 10-15 minutes to firm up slightly.
For the Marshmallow Filling:
- Add marshmallows:
- Once the peanut butter layer is firm, take the muffin tin out of the fridge and place a small handful of mini marshmallows on top of each peanut butter layer.
For the Chocolate Coating:
- Melt the chocolate:
- In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the semisweet chocolate chips and butter together in 30-second intervals, stirring in between until smooth and completely melted.
- Coat the cups:
- Spoon the melted chocolate over the marshmallows in each cup, covering them completely. Smooth the top with a spoon if needed.
- Chill and set:
- Place the muffin tin back in the fridge and allow the chocolate to set for at least 1 hour, or until completely firm.
To Serve:
- Once the chocolate is set, remove the peanut butter marshmallow cups from the muffin tin and serve!
- Prepare the peanut butter mixture:

- For added flavor, you can sprinkle a pinch of sea salt on top of the chocolate coating before it sets.
- These cups can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 1 week.
