What makes classic peanut butter filling in chocolate cups irresistible is the edge of salt against sweet. That and a texture that hovers between creamy and crumbly. To get more peanutty goodness—and a tastier homemade version of it—blitz up peanuts, sugar, and salt and stuff it into a huge tart pan lined with chocolate. It's as addictive as the original with a freshness from just-ground peanuts.
Cooks' Note
The only ingredient for the peanuts should be “peanuts.” Don’t buy the dry roasted peanuts that have lots of seasonings or the peanuts with salt and oil added.
