Make your own Pumpkin Peanut Butter Cups with just 5 whole ingredients for a delicious, fall treat made in under 30 minutes. PS: store these chocolate pumpkin cups in the freezer for long-lasting dessert year round. Ohhhhh yeah, it’s pumpkin season! Every year I swear it comes earlier and earlier and this year it’s here in August. Honestly, this isn’t my choice! I’m already starting to see some Halloween decor starting to pop up at Target…I’m just jumping on the early bandwagon. You guys know we have a thing for nut butter cups. I mean, we did have a whole week dedicated to them on FFF. This pumpkin peanut butter cup recipe is a little bit different than our normal nut butter cups in that the filling is covered by a hard chocolate shell. I’m a-okay with this…if you are! Okay, so, what do you need? Easy! Only 5 simple ingredients.
