[ Peanutbutter Cups ]

Ingredients

  • 14 ounces (1 3/4 cups) semi-sweet chocolate chips, divided
  • 1 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 6 tablespoons powdered sugar
  • 4 tablespoons butter, softened

Instructions
  • Line 12 muffin cups with cupcake liners. Set aside.
  • In a small microwave-safe bowl, place half of the chocolate. Melt the chocolate by heating in 30-second increments and stirring in between. This should take 30 to 60 seconds total. The chocolate should be smooth.
  • Scoop about ½ tablespoon of melted chocolate into each cupcake liner. This can be done by scooping the chocolate with one spoon and scraping it off with another.
  • Shake the pan periodically back and forth to help spread the chocolate so that it covers the bottom of the liner.
  • Freeze for 15 minutes.
  • While the chocolate is freezing, prepare the peanut butter filling. Measure peanut butter, powdered sugar, and butter into a medium mixing bowl. Using a hand mixer, mix until creamy.
  • Put 1 tablespoon of the peanut butter filling on top of the chocolate layer, making sure the filling does not touch the sides of the cupcake liner.
  • Freeze for 5 minutes.
  • In a microwave-safe bowl (use the one from step 2), melt the remaining chocolate in the same way as explained in step 2.
  • Cover the peanut butter layer with the melted chocolate.
  • Freeze for 10 to 15 minutes or refrigerate for 15 to 20 minutes until hardened.
