Easy Mini Peanut Butter Nutella Cups recipe. Made with only 3 ingredients, this quick and simple dessert idea makes a great snack.
As the first semester of this new school year is coming to a close, students are getting increasingly excited to get out of school for 2 weeks, and spend time with families.
But that just means that, as a teacher, my work load is ramping up. Making tests. Writing report cards. Marking said tests. Planning for the next semester…
Contrary to popular belief, teachers work their butts off for most of the year, and will even continue planning during the summer break.
So while my workload is crazy busy, I’m going to be making super simple, quick and easy recipe ideas that you can make in under 5 minutes.
But really.. what’s new? I feel like most of my recipes in the past few months have been super fast and easy recipes using minimal ingredients.
So what do we need for this recipe??
- peanut butter
- coconut oil
- Nutella
That’s seriously it!!
Okay, so this recipe might look very similar to my Chubby Hubby Nutella Cups recipe. And if you haven’t tried that one yet, I would definitely suggest you give it a go! But right now, I don’t have any pretzels, and I am too swamped with work to come up with completely new recipes for you this week. So this is going to have to do for the time being.
Wish me luck on the end of year workload! Catch me stress eating these Nutella cups for the next 2 weeks.

I am a HUGE fan of nutella, so these are like heaven to me! This is the first thing I am going to do when I go home from work today. They look absolutely delicious and I bet they are.
Yay! I hope you love it as much as I do!!
I love the texture! It makes me imagine having these in front of me right now and enjoying the cups like it is nobody’s business 🙂
Haha they are pretty hard to resist 😉
Adding these to my baking line up for the season; these look like little bites of heaven! Yum!
Yay! I hope you love it 🙂
Such a delicious treat! I love that there is both peanut butter and nutella. Can’t think of anything I’d rather eat!
It’s such a good combo!!
These are going to be a huge hit at my house. I love how simple they are and can’t wait to make them tomorrow!
They are so good 🙂
Can I use another oil instead of coconut oil ?
I haven’t tried with any other oil, and I don’t think it would work with another oil. The coconut oil hardens when cool, so that’s why it stays solid.
I’m sorry . I’ve never used coconut oil before. Is it liquid ? I see jars also.
Coconut oil is solid until heated. Then it becomes liquid. If you are using coconut oil for this recipe, I would recommend getting the ones from the jars.
I don’t have a microwave atm, can I do a double boil? Thanks!
Yes that would work!
Ive made them and they were almost amazing. Almost because the coconut was too strong and affected the taste too much. How do I handle this? Thanks!
I personally like the coconut taste, but if you don’t make sure you use refined coconut oil for a milder taste!
I tried it without heating anything and it was fine. The peanut butter and Nutella were nice and creamy to start with.
These are AMAZING! Just a quick question though, do you have to keep the remaining ones in the fridge/freezer until ready to eat or will they stay solid at room temperature? Thanks.
They get a little messy if you keep them at room temperature, so I would store in the fridge/freezer until ready to eat!
These are AMAZING! Just one quick question though, should the remaining ones be kept in the fridge/freezer or will they remain solid at room temperature? Thanks.
I’ve made them and they are fabulous! Any idea of the calories?
