Pumpkin Peanut Butter Cups
Pumpkin Peanut Butter Cups made with just 4 ingredients and in just 10 minutes, they’re the perfect fall treat!
Pumpkin Peanut Butter Cups are a twist on a fall candy favorite but with none of the ingredients you can’t pronounce and all the amazing pumpkin spice flavor you could ever want!
This post is the beginning of a series of posts sponsored by Peanut Butter and Co. who are a fantastic company I’ve enjoyed working with on Dinner, then Dessert. In fact, this morning on the blog I shared Pumpkin Fluffernutter Bars made with the same Pumpkin Spice Peanut Butter. 
These Pumpkin Peanut Butter Cups also benefit from being incredibly EASY to make, with just a food processor, muffin tin and cupcake liners you’re in for a delicious treat.
Peanut Butter and Co. is like the peanut butter childhood fantasy equivalent to a certain chocolate factory movie. With all natural ingredients which are completely vegan (except their bees knees flavor) you’ll be hoarding every flavor you can.
My personal favorite is White Chocolate Wonderful with a very close second of Cinnamon Raisin Swirl. I certainly enjoy it by the spoonful, but an even more fun treat is taking a bit and microwaving it for 15 seconds. Then you drizzle it on basically anything from fruit, to pretzels or cookies.
You can absolutely make these peanut butter cups to suit your tastes, here are some alternate flavor ideas:
- Use melted white chocolate as the coating for white chocolate pumpkin cups and sprinkle on a bit of cinnamon on the tops before they harden.
- Use melted white chocolate with White Chocolate Wonderful peanut butter with small bits of cranberry mixed in.
- Use the Bees Knees Peanut Butter flavor and before the chocolate hardens sprinkle on a bit of honeycomb candy crumbs.
- Use Mighty Maple Peanut Butter instead of Pumpkin Spice and top the chocolate with crispy bacon crumbles. The perfect maple peanut chocolate bacon bite!
