I recently got out my Wilton Chocolate Pro and candy molds to make chocolate bunny lollipops for Mister’s Easter basket. While I had them out, I decided to try my hand at making Chocolate WOWBUTTER Cups. Here’s what I used to make them.
Wilton Chocolate & Candy Melts Melting Pot, 2104-9006Wilton Candy Mold Peanut Butter CupsWOWBUTTER Peanut Free Soy Butter Spread – Crunchy – 17.6 ozEnjoy Life Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips, Gluten, Dairy, Nut & Soy Free and Vegan, Mini Chips, 10-Ounce Bags (Pack of 6)
Hubs and I really like a certain peanut butter cup candy, but are unable to enjoy them very often because of Mister’s allergy. I’m not sure why I’ve never thought to do this before, since we’ve used WOWBUTTER, a peanut butter replacement, for what feels like ever.
After I melted the peanut free chocolate chips (I used a blend of milk chocolate and semi-sweet) , I poured some into each well of the chocolate cup mold. I don’t own a candy brush, so I used my silicone food brushes to paint the chocolate up the sides of the mold. I put them in the refrigerator for a few minutes to set. While they were setting, I made the WOWBUTTER filling with .
Then I placed a dollop in each chocolate cup and covered it with more melted chocolate. I put them in the refrigerator again to set.
After I took them out, I enjoyed one before I put the rest in a treat box to share with family.
Oh. My. Yum!
Next time, I will skip the molds and make them in the paper liners.
Mister absolutely loved his “not-peanut-butter-cups!”
