Remember, mindful swaps are welcomed here, making the recipe adaptable to your preferences. Once prepared, store your cups in an airtight container, preferably in the fridge, to maintain the delicate peanut butter confection’s texture and flavor.

1. Prepare your workspace lovingly.
Begin by setting out all your Reese’s cup ingredients thoughtfully. Maybe play soft music or light a candle. This step centers you and invites calm into your cooking space.

2. Melt the chocolate with intention.
Gently melt your chocolate chips with the optional teaspoon of coconut oil in a double boiler or microwave in brief bursts. Take a moment to enjoy the rich aroma rising. Let the scent remind you of the comfort these Reeses Peanut Butter Cups will bring.

3. Mix the peanut butter confection.
In a bowl, stir the peanut butter with powdered sugar and sea salt. Let this mixing become a mindful action—notice the texture becoming smooth and slightly firm. The familiar sweetness and salt create that cup candy treat magic.

4. Layer gently.
Spoon a small amount of melted chocolate into the bottoms of muffin liners or candy molds. Allow this first layer to rest slightly in the fridge so it firms just a bit.

While that chills, take a deep breath, recognizing the care you’re folding into this Reese’s snack.

5. Add the peanut butter filling.
Spoon your peanut butter mixture gently atop the chocolate layer. Be mindful with each spread — this step is where the soul of your Reeses Peanut Butter Cups begins to show.

6. Cap with chocolate.
Pour the remaining melted chocolate over the peanut butter layer. Smooth it carefully, as if tucking your creation into a soft blanket.

7. Final chill.
Refrigerate the cups until completely firm—usually around 1-2 hours. Use this time to reflect or simply savor the quiet anticipation of enjoying your nourishing favorite.

If your chocolate appears slightly grainy or the peanut butter isn’t smooth enough, trust in the process. Each step is a moment to return to your breath and remind yourself that gentle presence is part of the recipe.
