How To Make chocolate peanut butter dessert cake cups

  • Step 1
    Reserve 4 pieces chocolate for garnish. Melt remaining chocolate pieces in heat proof bowl set over pan of simmering water; stir until smooth.

If desired, when chocolate has set, carefully peel away & discard foil liners.

    In small bowl, thoroughly combine peanut butter & sugar. To assemble, spread heaping Tbsp peanut butter mixture in bottom of each chocolate cup. Place 1 slice of cake in each cup, pressing carefully to fit. Top with remaining peanut butter mixture. Place 1 reserved chocolate piece on top of each. Sprinkle with peanuts.
  • Step 3
    VARIATIONS: Use different cake flavors such as: thick fudge iced golden cake, marshmallow devil's food, carrot, chocolate chips or vanilla bean.
