Chocolate Peanut Butter Cups
I have loved Chocolate Peanut Butter Cups ever since I was a little girl. It has always been one of my favorite chocolate treats. I would start by nibbling all around the edges first, saving the middle bite for the very last. Mmmmm. I was happy with a simple Reese's cup. What am I saying? I am still happy with a Reese's cup! :) If you are looking to order yourself a stash, why not try the Gourmet Candy Stand It was a terrific day when I discovered there were actually peanut butter cup recipes, and that I could make my own. If you want to give it a try, here are a couple of options for you to test drive. Chocolate Peanut Butter Cups
Melt the chocolate chips over a double boiler, stirring until smooth. (If you like, melt in the microwave in 30 second intervals, stirring each time until smooth. Don't overheat). Line a muffin tray with paper candy cups. Spoon a bit of chocolate into each cup, spreading it up the sides. (A small paint brush works great for this). Chill until that chocolate sets. Fill the cups with the peanut butter mixture leaving space for a final layer of chocolate on top. Chill again. Spoon remaining chocolate over the tops being sure to completely cover the peanut butter. Allow to set until firm. Store in airtight container. Tips: You can find a selection of paper candy cups and cello favor bags at Candyland Crafts. These are great for gift giving or party favors. They also carry a wide range of molds, if you want to make specific clever shapes. If you are just going to eat them all yourself, :) you can make them without the paper cups by greasing the mini muffin tins and making them directly in them. Sheet Peanut Butter Cups
Melt together the chocolate chips and 1/2 cup butter over low heat, stirring until smooth. Spread chocolate over peanut butter mixture. Allow to cool and cut into small pieces.
