Peanut butter and chocolate were meant to be together — cozied up in a warm, gooey cup of deliciousness.
These Peanut Butter Cups are made from a devil’s food cake mix with a creamy peanut butter ball surprise in the middle. These come together dangerously fast. From first craving to completion, we’re talking thirty minutes tops.
I decided to make them in small ramekins to establish some kind of portion control. Because believe me, you’re going to need some help in restraining yourself from eating it all.
-Start by preparing your cake mix as normal and pouring a little bit into the bottom of your ramekins.
-The real indulgence comes from these peanut butter balls. I made mine about the size of a golf ball and snuggled them in the cake batter.
-Top the peanut butter balls with a couple more tablespoons of batter so that the ball is hidden.
-Right when they come out of the oven top each cake with a tablespoon or so of chocolate chips and let them melt from the heat of the cake. Look at that chocolate melting on top.
-You can spread it with a knife after it has melted to make a smooth layer or just leave it how it is.
The best part…the warm and creamy peanut butter inside. Dig in…you know you want to!
