These cups can be eaten straight from the wrapper for a quick indulgence. For baking, they can be chopped and added to cookie dough, brownie batter, or cake mixes.

How to keep the rest
To keep the remaining peanut butter cups fresh, store them in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and heat. Ensure the packaging is sealed to prevent them from drying out or absorbing other odors. Refrigeration is an option if you prefer them cold, but allow them to come to room temperature before eating for optimal texture.
