These are peanut butter cups disguised as chocolate snowflakes.
Very festive don't you think?!
These are my first ever attempt at making peanut butter cups, not that difficult I hear you say - but how about making the Peanut Butter Cups in the shape of intricate Snowflakes - a little fiddly to make, but well worth the effort.
I found the snowlflake silicon moulds at Flying Tiger designed for ice cubes. It worked very well for these chocolate snowlflakes.
D gobbled a piece in one go, which surprised me as my Chocolate Snowflakes were a lot more deeper in depth than traditional mini bite size Peanut Butter Cups.
I am more of a lady and ate mine a small bite at a time. I am sharing these with Tin and Thyme for We Should Cocoa
I am hoping to make Peanut Butter Cups again, but net time with a vegan Mousse filling.




Very pretty. They almost look a very dark purple...they will be going on my list for holidays. Have a lovely Christmas.
ReplyDeleteThank you e. Yes I can see what you mean by the dark purple.
DeleteThese look so pretty; I love them! I tried making something like them in mini silicone mounds, but I used salted cashews made into butter in a food processor. That was even better than peanuts, and I bet almond butter would be great too. Have you ever tried making chocolates with it?
ReplyDeleteThank you. Salted cashews and almond butter sound lovely - will dry that combo in the future. I have made raw chocolate in the past, but not with these moulds - maybe next year now
Deletevery cute cup shapes - am curious about how you do a vegan PB mousse and pleased to hear you are very dainty in eating them though I think I would be more like D
ReplyDeleteThank you Johanna. If you click on the link it will take you to the vegan mousse recipe that I am hoping to give a go in the future. And yes, I am quite lady like when eating my nibbles.
DeleteFor a first attempt that's absolutely amazing, they look so good and I'm sure they tasted good too!
ReplyDeleteThank you. I was pleased, though I must confess i need to put more filling in them
Delete(O)
ReplyDeleteThank you
DeleteOMG! This would make a big hit with mines!
ReplyDeleteThey are gorgeous!
Thank you so so much
DeleteThese are gorgeous - better than anything in a shop I think!
ReplyDeleteHappy Christmas Shaheen and I hope you had a great day.
Thank you so much Kari. Happy Christmas to you too. I was in Essex for Christmas with MIL and sister in law, we got back to Wales, Boxing Day. I am back to work tomorrow, but then off for two whole weeks.
DeleteThese look adorable and yummy!!!!
ReplyDeleteThank you Jennifer
DeleteI love these Shaheen. They look so professional and very tempting. I bet they would have made amazing presents.
ReplyDeleteI hope you had a wonderful Christmas and all the best for 2018 x
Thank you Kate. They were a bit fiddly to make, but worth making to be gifted to others.
DeleteI had a good Christmas and thank you for 2018 Best wishes, I am really looking forward to 2018.
These are so pretty Shaheen and very ladylike too. My peanut butter cups were a lot larger and I wouldn't like to say how quickly I gobbled them down ;)
ReplyDeletePeanut butter and chocolate are such a favourite with most people, these would make a fantastic festive gift. Thanks for sharing with #WeShouldCocoa and I'd like to wish both you and D a very happy and fulfilling 2018.
