Vegan Peanut Butter Cups

September 1, 2022 By Gretchen 7 Comments

Homemade Reese’s Vegan Peanut Butter Cups.

Why bother. Right? Wrong!

These are so good! You will never buy them again!

Dare I say, they may be better than the real thing?

Vegan Peanut Butter Cups

These little candy’s take no more than an hour to make for a first time

And once you do it again you will get even faster!

These are seriously a fast, fun, delicious treat that can be made on a whim!

I am sure you already have at least 3 of the 4 ingredients listed

Additionally the graham crackers can be left out

However that addition really makes this recipe exactly like the real thing!

You will have to temper your chocolate though to make sure that it sets

Since chocolate that is not tempered properly will not set correctly and will stay melt-y and sticky at room temperature

OR just use the King David Non Tempering Chocolate Coins!!

Callebaut makes a dairy free chocolate now and it is so good!

How to Temper Chocolate

Notes for Success:

You don’t need the special mold as I show you in the video, but they are quite affordable if you want them to look like the real thing.

You can of course make these easily in paper lined cupcake tins if you don’t want to spring for those molds.

In the video tutorial above I show you both ways to do it, so just take your pick!

You can make these completely gluten free by using gluten free graham crackers too!

Or if you want to pretend you are super healthy like me,

Substitute vegan protein powder for the crackers and the confectioners sugar!

I usually use 2 scoops of protein in place of both of those ingredients!

    Hi Gretchen, your link for the chocolate says it is 100% cocoa beans. That sounds extremely bitter and not sweet! My family is a milk chocolate kinda family. Have you found any dairy free milk chocolate bulk size baking bars?

      Hi Rose! Thank you! You are totally correct! LOL not a good choice! Here is the direct link to Calleabaut since Amazon is not selling this particular one (yet) but also there is always Baker’s Brand which is easily found in most supermarkets.

      yes, from the written blog post:
      You will have to temper your chocolate though to make sure that it sets, since chocolate that is not tempered properly will not set correctly or could just stay melt-y and sticky and that will be no fun!

        ^ Some people just DON’T read your full blogs! So disappointed when I see questions asked that are clearly written in the blogs! :-/

    Hi,
    thanks very much for the recipe. I would like to know if I can replace the graham crackers with digestive biscuits? are they the same thing?
