It’s pretty hard to improve upon one of the most loved candies out there, but sometimes a favorite can do with a little fall twist. While it might seem that there is pumpkin spice flavored everything available these days, we promise that this particular combination is warranted. The pumpkin and the peanut butter go so well together and surrounding them in milk chocolate certainly doesn’t hurt matters. It’s like the peanut butter cup we all know and love… but with a little extra sweetness and a smack of pumpkin spice. They’re easy to love and lucky for all of us, they’re easy to make too.

There’s no baking involved here and the only difficult thing about making these is exercising some patience while the chocolate cools and sets. The first step is to make the pumpkin-peanut butter filling, which comes together quickly on the stovetop. You melt together peanut butter, butter, pumpkin puree, some pumpkin pie spice, and brown sugar, and then stir in some powdered sugar before leaving it to cool. It’s a thick mixture, so rather than spooning it into the cups, you roll it into balls and flatten them into disks that are easy to place into each cup.

The chocolate is simply chocolate chips melted with a little bit of vegetable shortening, which makes for a nice, pourable consistency. You spoon enough chocolate to coat the bottom of each mini muffin cup, and set the tin in the fridge to chill while you make the pumpkin-peanut butter disks. After placing a disk in each cup, you top them all with more chocolate and give the whole thing a chance to set up in the fridge again. And that’s it! Before you know it, you’ll be enjoying a delicious autumnal version of the popular peanut butter cup.
