I was provided with promotional items in return from this post Easy Halloween Treats: Mummy Peanut Butter Cups Recipe. All opinions are 100% my own.

It is mid way thru October and I have been posting about Halloween Ideas for the last 3 weeks. Ig you have not figured it out, I love Halloween and the Halloween Food Ideas are so plentiful. Thanksgiving is a big food holiday too, but not as fun in creativity as Halloween. When asked to create a Halloween treat using Flipz I could not be more excited. I have created many chocolate covered pretzels for holidays and Flipz take one step out of the process, the pretzels are already coated in chocolate or Vanilla coating. I love peanut butter cups, so why not bring the two ideas together and make Mummy Peanut Butter Cups. These treats are the Easy Halloween Treats. 

First I created the Pretzel Mummies. Simply melt white chocolate coating in a piping bag. I simply did this in the microwave, checking every 30 seconds so it did not burn.

Lay out your Flipz onto a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper. 

Then just drizzle the white chocolate over each pretzel to create the mummy like wrapping. Add some candy eyes and allow them to set. 

How to make Homemade Peanut Butter Cups

Now time to make the homemade peanut butter cups! First make the peanut butter filling. Heat peanut butter, butter and brown sugar until melted and smooth. 

Take off the heat and add powdered sugar. Allow to cool.

Melt chocolate chips in the microwave until smooth. Fill each muffin cup with 1 tablespoon of chocolate. Add a small ice cream scoop of the peanut butter mixuture. 

Cover the peanut butter filling in with additional chocolate. 

Tap the tray onto the counter to even out the chocolate. Then add a FLIPZ mummy. Place in the fridge for 15 minutes. 

These are ready to be served. Perfect combination of sweet and salty with the addition of the pretzel mummy.

Package a few up for gifts too. (I would store these in the fridge until ready to serve). 

Ready for gifts. 

For our Halloween Party treats we also made some of these fun Chocolate covered Rice Krispie Treats.
