Summertime is the unofficial season for s’mores. It’s the perfect time of year for twilight-hour bonfires hosted in a field of fireflies, and for spending hours toasting fluffy marshmallow after fluffy marshmallow to charred perfection at the end of the (questionably sanitary) stick. And while bonfires are lovely and S’mores very well may be the perfect outdoor treat, there’s nothing wrong with breaking away from tradition and bringing them indoors for a fun new spin on a classic. Make that a spin on two classics, actually; today I’m bringing together S’mores and Peanut Butter Cups for a divinely decadent, no bake (no bonfire needed) dessert.
Originally, the plan was to make these peanut butter cups without actually inviting peanut butter along at all. I planned to just use the essential s’mores ingredients: graham crackers, marshmallow, and milk chocolate. However, that made these peanut butter cups seem almost too sweet, and so a salty touch of creamy peanut butter was exactly what was needed to help balance out these candies. The final result was sheer perfection and a fun twist on a classic candy treat that’s just as addictive as the original. These s’mores peanut butter cups are made in cupcake liners (for that classic rippled-edge appearance), and it takes only a few moments to layer the ingredients. The hardest part is the 30 minute wait for them to chill. With their sweet milk chocolate shells and salty peanut butter, gooey marshmallow, and crunchy graham cracker fillings, these sweet no-bake treats are absolutely irresistible.
