Ingredients
For the crust

- ¼ cup salted butter Melted and cooled
For the filling
- 8 oz cream cheese Softened
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter Reese’s brand is recommended for extra flavor
- 1½ cups cold heavy whipping cream
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
For decoration
- 1 bottle chocolate sauce For drizzling
- 28 pieces Reese’s peanut butter minis Add 2 pieces per cup
Instructions
Preparation
- Place the crushed Oreo cookie crumbs into a mixing bowl. Pour the melted butter over them and mix until the crumbs are fully coated.
- Take about 2 teaspoons of the buttered crumbs and add them to your cups. Use a spoon or another cup to press the crumbs down firmly.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and powdered sugar until it's nice and smooth, about 1 to 1½ minutes. Make sure to scrape down the sides of the bowl.
- Stir in the creamy peanut butter and mix until you have a smooth consistency.
- Pour in the cold heavy cream and vanilla extract. Beat that mixture for another 2-3 minutes until it thickens.
- Spoon the peanut butter mixture into a piping bag or a ziplock bag with a corner cut off. Squeeze that filling into the cups, filling them about ¾ of the way full.
- Drizzle chocolate sauce on top in a zigzag pattern. Place one of the peanut butter minis right on top, and then cover the cups.
- Refrigerate until you're ready to serve. They will stay fresh for up to three days.
Notes
