Craving an irresistible treat? Discover the recipe for giant Peanut Butter Cups, a perfect blend of creamy peanut butter and melt-in-your-mouth chocolate. Easy to make, these treats will melt the hearts of all sweet tooths! With a super-simple recipe and just a few ingredients, it’s never been easier to make this little treat in an XXL size yourself. Bruxelles Secrète reveals the step-by-step guide to making these Reese’s at home.

To make these giant Peanut Butter Cups, you’ll need:

• 350 grams of chocolate
• 360 ml of milk chocolate
• 15 ml of coconut oil
• 80 grams of peanut butter
• 35 grams of powdered sugar
• 1 teaspoon of liquid vanilla extract
• 1 pinch of salt

How do you make them?

1. In a saucepan over a double boiler, melt the dark chocolate. Add the milk chocolate and coconut oil and mix well. Be careful not to let the water in the double boiler boil too vigorously, and don’t spill any water into the mixture (otherwise you’ll have to start all over again!).
2. Once the mixture of dark chocolate, milk chocolate, and coconut oil is completely smooth, remove it from the heat and pour half of the mixture into a tart pan. The base should cover the entire bottom of the pan. Then place it in the refrigerator for 15 to 20 minutes, until it’s completely set.
3. Meanwhile, mix the peanut butter and powdered sugar with an electric mixer for 4 minutes. You should end up with a light, fluffy mixture. Once that’s done, stir in the pinch of salt and the vanilla extract. Then carefully spoon your mixture onto parchment paper. The shape should match that of your mold.
4. Remove the tart pan from the refrigerator and carefully place your peanut butter disc on top. Pour the remaining chocolate over the peanut butter. Gently tap and rotate the pan until the chocolate completely covers the peanut butter layer.
5. Refrigerate the mixture again for 15 to 20 minutes. Always take your giant Peanut Butter Cups out of the fridge 10 minutes before digging in!

Enjoy!
