Homemade Peanut Butter Cups




Source of Recipe


Budget 101


List of Ingredients




1 (11 1/2 - 12 oz.) bag semi-sweet or milk chocolate chips
2 tbsp. shortening
2-3 doz. 1 or 1 1/2 inch paper cups

3/4 c. creamy peanut butter
3/4 c. sifted powdered sugar
1 tbsp. melted butter


Recipe



Chocolate cups: Combine over hot (not boiling) water, chocolate chips and shortening. Stir until mixture is melted and smooth. Remove from heat but leave over hot water. Coat the inside of each cup using approximately 1 teaspoon of chocolate. Place cups in palm of hand, rotating gently while pushing chocolate up sides with a spoon or small rubber spatula. Chill 15 to 20 minutes or until firm.
Peanut Butter Filling: In small bowl, combine filling ingredients and mix until well blended. Shape into small balls and place in chill cups. Press ball down slightly to fill in spaces. Spoon enough of the remaining chocolate over the top to seal edges. Chill about 45 minutes. Store in refrigerator for best results.
