A long, long time ago, before cooking shows were really popular, I saw someone make peanut butter cups on television. I was shocked. You could make this delicious treat at home? Mind. Blown. I called my friend, ran down the block to her house, and we made them (with the help of her mother, of course).
Even though I actually now own a mini peanut butter cups mold, I'm not sure that I actually ever made them since that day ... until now. But using that mold, that's too simple. Instead, I used an owl silicone mold and made these super cute "owl" always love you peanut butter cup wedding favors.
Now, keep in mind, if you're not crazy about owls or puns, you can just use a traditional mini peanut butter mold instead.
DIY "Owl" Always Love You Peanut Butter Cup Wedding Favors
What You'll Need:
- Owl silicone mold
- 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1 cup chocolate chips
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon butter
What You'll Do:
Melt half the chocolate chips.
Fill the bottom of the mold -- and the sides -- with chocolate. Chill in the freezer for about 20 minutes until the chocolate hardens.
While you're waiting, melt the butter.
Mix together the powdered sugar, peanut butter, and butter together.
Add a clump of the peanut butter mixture into the molds. Push it down so it fills up the entire mold.
Melt the other half of the chocolate chips.
Add a layer of melted chocolate over the peanut butter mixture and chill in the freezer, at least two hours.
Pop the owls out of the molds. Pack two of them into a small plastic treat bag and tie with a ribbon. Three might fit a little better in the bag, depending on the size of bag you buy, but two is cuter because you're a couple getting married.
So cute, right?
These should keep for a little while, so if you're making them for your own wedding, you can make them the weekend before. If you do, pick up a couple molds so that you can make a few trays at a time to speed up the process.
