Ingredients needed
These are the ingredients you’ll need to make these Snickers Weetbix Cups. You can find the exact measurements in the recipe card at the bottom of this page.
Weetbix bricks: Form the base of the recipe, creating a soft, slightly fudgy layer that holds everything together while adding a delicious biscuit-like texture.
Cocoa powder: Adds a rich chocolate flavour to the base and gives it that classic brownie-like taste.
Liquid sweetener: Helps bind the base together while adding sweetness to both the chocolate and peanut butter layers.
Milk: Softens the Weetbix and helps create the perfect texture for both the base and filling.
Peanut butter: The star of the filling, adding creaminess, richness, and that iconic peanut butter flavour that makes these cups taste just like a Snickers bar.
Dark chocolate: Creates the smooth chocolate topping that perfectly complements the peanut butter filling and crunchy peanuts.
Coconut oil (optional): Helps create a smoother chocolate layer and gives the topping a beautiful glossy finish.
Peanuts: Add the signature crunch that makes a Snickers-inspired treat so satisfying, while also bringing extra flavour and texture to every bite.
Ingredient substitutions
Weetbix bricks: If you don’t have Weetbix, you can use another wheat biscuit cereal. The texture may vary slightly, but it will still create a delicious base.
Cocoa powder: Cacao powder can be used instead for a slightly richer flavour and less processed option.
Liquid sweetener: Honey, maple syrup, sugar-free syrup, or any liquid sweetener of choice will work well in this recipe.
Milk: Any milk can be used, including dairy milk, almond milk, oat milk, soy milk, or coconut milk.
Peanut butter: Almond butter, cashew butter, or any smooth nut or seed butter can be used instead of peanut butter.
Dark chocolate: Milk chocolate can be used if you prefer a sweeter flavour, while dairy-free chocolate works perfectly for a dairy-free version.
Coconut oil: This is completely optional and simply helps create a smoother chocolate topping. You can leave it out if preferred.
Peanuts: Swap these for chopped almonds, pecans, cashews, or leave them out if you’d prefer a smoother texture.
Extra toppings: For even more flavour, try adding a sprinkle of flaky sea salt, a drizzle of melted peanut butter, or a few extra chopped peanuts on top before serving.
Equipment needed
- Mixing bowls: You’ll need one bowl for the chocolate Weetbix base and another for the peanut butter filling.
- Spoon or spatula: Used for mixing the layers together and spreading them evenly into the molds.
- Muffin pan or silicone molds: Helps shape the Snickers cups and keeps the layers neat while they set.
- Cupcake liners: Makes removing the cups easy and helps keep everything tidy.
- Measuring cups and spoons: Useful for accurately measuring the ingredients and achieving the perfect consistency.
- Microwave-safe bowl or small saucepan: Needed for melting the chocolate topping until smooth and glossy.
- Knife and cutting board: Used for roughly chopping the peanuts for the crunchy layer.
- Refrigerator or freezer: Essential for chilling the cups and allowing the layers to firm up before serving.
How to make these Snickers Weetbix Cups
Here is a detailed summary of how to make this recipe. I’ve also included some photos, and you can find the recipe video in the recipe card. At the bottom of this page is a summarized version that can be printed.
Step One:
In a mixing bowl, combine the crushed Weetbix, cocoa powder, liquid sweetener, and milk. Mix until everything is well combined and the mixture holds together when pressed.
Step Two:
Divide the mixture evenly between 6 cupcake liners or molds and press down firmly to create the chocolate base.
Step Three:
In a separate bowl, mix together the peanut butter, liquid sweetener, and milk until smooth, creamy, and spreadable.
Step Four:
Spoon the peanut butter mixture over each base and smooth it out evenly using the back of a spoon or spatula.
Step Five:
Sprinkle the chopped peanuts over the peanut butter layer and gently press them down so they stick.
Step Six:
Add the dark chocolate and coconut oil, if using, to a microwave-safe bowl or small saucepan and melt until smooth and glossy.
Step Seven:
Pour the melted chocolate over each cup, spreading it gently to completely cover the peanut layer.
Step Eight:
Transfer the cups to the freezer for at least 10 minutes, or until the chocolate has set.
Step Nine:
Remove the cups from the molds and store them in the refrigerator until ready to serve. Enjoy straight from the fridge for the perfect chocolatey, peanut buttery treat.
Tips & notes
- Press the base down firmly: This helps create a sturdy foundation for the layers and prevents the cups from falling apart when removed from the liners.
- Adjust the base if needed: If the Weetbix mixture feels too dry, add a small splash of milk until it holds together easily when pressed.
- Use smooth peanut butter: Smooth peanut butter creates the creamiest filling and spreads more evenly over the base.
- Thin the filling if necessary: If your peanut butter mixture feels too thick, add milk a little at a time until it becomes smooth and spreadable.
- Press the peanuts into the filling: Gently pressing the chopped peanuts into the peanut butter layer helps them stay in place once the chocolate is added.
- Chill between layers for cleaner results: If you have extra time, chill the cups for a few minutes after adding the peanut butter layer before pouring over the chocolate.
- Use good quality chocolate: Since the chocolate topping is a key part of the recipe, using a chocolate you enjoy eating will make a big difference.
- Store them chilled: These cups are best enjoyed straight from the fridge when the layers are firm and the chocolate has a satisfying snap.
- Make them your own: Try adding a sprinkle of flaky sea salt, extra chopped peanuts, or a drizzle of melted peanut butter on top before serving for an extra-special finish.
