It is surprisingly easy to make peanut butter cups with only 3 ingredients! These treats are perfect for Christmas coffee table or as homemade presents. The recipe is gluten-free and egg-free so these sweets are suitable for many diets. Use good quality peanut butter and chocolate. I used crunchy peanut butter for the recipe but you can also use smooth peanut butter if you want to.
