These little phyllo cups filled with peanut butter and chocolate are perfect for everyday treats or for special occasions. Decorate them any way you like.
Sometimes I make a couple just for myself when I’m craving something sweet — especially when I want peanut butter and chocolate together. It’s hard to beat that combo.
A crisp phyllo shell holds the filling and gives these bites a lovely texture. Add festive sprinkles for a pretty finish and serve them as a small dessert for family and friends.
These treats feel decadent but won’t blow your calorie budget. Below you’ll find nutrition information and Weight Watchers points. I also included a Snickers phyllo cup variation so you can make three different versions: mini Reese’s, white chocolate peanut butter minis, and Snickers-filled cups. Each variation takes under five minutes to prepare.

Snickers nutritional count and WW points noted below
This recipe is basically two ingredients, plus sprinkles if you want them.
Ingredients:
- 2 Reese’s mini peanut butter cups, or 4 unwrapped mini white chocolate peanut butter cups
- 2 mini phyllo shells (such as Athens) or any brand of mini phyllo shells
- Assorted sprinkles, nonpareils, sanding sugar, or edible glitter (optional)
Phyllo shells work for many quick desserts.
Prepare your fillings: unwrap the mini cups or cut a fun-size Snickers into pieces to fit the shells.
Arrange the shells on a baking sheet, fill them, and you’re ready to melt the chocolate for a few minutes.
Top shells with chopped Snickers, Reese’s minis, or white chocolate peanut butter minis as desired.
They melt quickly and look perfect when warm.
Add sprinkles while still warm for best adhesion and a festive look.
You can vary fillings: pure peanut butter cups…
…or Snickers pieces.
How to make these treats
Directions:
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil.
- Place the phyllo shells on the prepared sheet. Put one mini peanut butter cup in each shell, or two mini white chocolate peanut butter cups in each shell. For Snickers cups, cut a mini Snickers bar into four pieces and place two pieces in each shell.
- Bake for about 3 minutes, or until the chocolate softens and just begins to melt. Watch closely so the chocolate doesn’t overheat or scorch.
- Remove from the oven.
- Optional: while the chocolate is still soft, sprinkle with decorative sprinkles. These taste best eaten soon after baking; once they cool completely the shells lose some crispness.
So delicious
