You will never want to buy store bought peanut butter cups after you make some at home. You need these   Homemade Mummy Peanut Butter Cups Recipe for Halloween.  

It is midway 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 takes 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 Easy Halloween Treats. 

What you need to make pretzel Mummies

• Store bought chocolate pretzels
• White chocolate discs
• chocolate piping bag
• Candy eyes

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.

Layout 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

What you need to make homemade peanut butter cups

• Muffin paper cups
• Peanut butter
• Butter
• Brown Sugar
• Powdered sugar
• Chocolate

TIPS TO MAKE THE BEST HOMEMADE Peanut Butter Cups

Use good chocolate – Just like store bought varieties the chocolate used makes a huge difference.  Don’t buy the cheapest chocolate for these if you manage it.

Use your favorite peanut butter – Unlike my epic Peanut Butter Cookies where I recommend not using peanut butter powder.  Use your favorite brand or what you have on hand. 

Don’t rush the chilling process – The peanut butter cups will need to be assembled in layers and chilled in the fridge or freezer every step of  way.

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 cooling completely.

Melt chocolate chips in the microwave until smooth. Fill each lined muffin cup with 1 tablespoon of chocolate. 

Add a small ice cream scoop of the peanut butter mixture on top of the chocolate. 

 

Cover the peanut butter filling in with additional chocolate. 

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

These are ready to be served. The 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). 

How do you store leftover Peanut Butter Cups?

Keep at room temperature in an airtight container for up to 2 days, or in the fridge for up to 2 weeks. If storing in the fridge, you will need to allow them to come back to room temperature again for a softer texture.

Can you freeze Peanut Butter Cups?

Yes you can freeze peanut butter cups. I would wait to add the pretzel mummies until you are ready to serve them up.  Just melt a little more chocolate and put a tab on the defrosted cups then place the mummy on top. 

 

 

You can use cellophane bags and these Ready for gifts.
