Spoonacular is a recipe search engine that sources recipes from across the web. We do our best to find recipes suitable for many diets — whether vegetarian, vegan, gluten free, dairy free, etc. — but we cannot guarantee that a recipe's ingredients are safe for your diet. Always read ingredient lists from the original source (follow the link from the "Instructions" field) in case an ingredient has been incorrectly extracted from the original source or has been labeled incorrectly in any way. Moreover, it is important that you always read the labels on every product you buy to see if the product could cause an allergic reaction or if it conflicts with your personal or religious beliefs. If you are still not sure after reading the label, contact the manufacturer.

We also attempt to estimate the cost and calculate the nutritional information for the recipes found on our site. Again, we cannot guarantee the accuracy of this information.

Cream Sherry, Port Wine, and Moscato d'Asti are my top picks for Peanut Butter Cups. A common wine pairing rule is to make sure your wine is sweeter than your food. Delicate desserts go well with Moscato d'Asti, nutty desserts with cream sherry, and caramel or chocolate desserts pair well with port. You could try NV Johnson Estate Cream Sherry. Reviewers quite like it with a 5 out of 5 star rating and a price of about 19 dollars per bottle.

NV Johnson Estate Cream Sherry

Very aromatic with notes of hazelnut, vanilla, and a touch of oak followed by sweet raisins and a touch of yeast. Clean lasting finish. Good now but will reward those allow it to age"". A favorite pre-prandial beverage. Consider it with nuts before dinner as an aperitif, or after dinner with dessert, especially chocolates and fruit-based desserts. Also wonderful on cold afternoons, served with biscotti to dip in ""Italian-style"". "

Instructions

  1. Mix 1 cup semi-sweet and 1 cup milk chocolate chips in a microwavable bowl and melt in the microwave using 30 second intervals
  2. Grease pan generously with shortening (you can use the daisy pan I used or cupcake liners to get that crinkled effect around the edges)
  3. Fill cavities up 1/3 of the way with the melted chocolate and place in freezer to chill for about 5 minutes
  4. Prepare peanut butter filling by first melting peanut butter and butter together for about 20 seconds in the microwave
  5. Mix melted peanut butter and butter with sugar and graham cracker crumbs. I had left my mixer at home so I just used my hands for this part (if the filling ends up being too crumbly, try adding more melted butter and peanut butter)
  6. Remove pan from freezer and spoon peanut butter mixture onto each chocolate layer, making sure not to fill it up to the edges so that your top layer of chocolate can drip down and form the sides
  7. Mix and melt remaining chocolate chips and pour over the peanut butter so that it fills in the gaps on the sides and is even on top
  8. Refrigerate for about 30 minutes before serving/gorging
