Description

If you’ve ever dreamed of making your own Rees peanut butter cups, now you can. For a more adult version, feel free to use your favourite dark chocolate instead.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 100g (3.5oz) butter, melted
  • 100g (3.5oz) icing (powdered) sugar
  • 100g (3.5oz) peanut butter
  • 100g (3.5oz) milk chocolate

Instructions

  1. Melt the butter in a small saucepan or microwave. Roughly line a small square or rectangular baking tin with baking or parchment paper.
  2. Combine sugar, peanut butter and half (50g / 1.7oz) the melted butter in a small bowl. Stir vigorously until there are no more sugar lumps.
  3. Meanwhile, break chocolate into small chunks and add to the remaining butter to melt the chocolate.
  4. Spoon the mixture into your prepared pan. And try and flatten evenly.
  5. When the chocolate has melted, stir to combine with the butter, then layer over the peanut butter fudge. Cool and refrigerate until firm. Cut into tiny squares.
