Recipe Introduction


One year, in the dead of (a Chicago) winter, I chilled a huge tray of these outside on my 3rd floor balcony. A local squirrel decided to taste almost every one of the candies! I can laugh about it now, but I sure didn't that day, as I had made them for gift giving!


List of Ingredients




8 oz. Milk Chocolate or Semi Sweet Chips
4 T Butter
1 1/2 C Creamy Peanut Butter, divided






Recipe



In a double boiler, melt Chocolate, Butter and 3/4 C Peanut Butter until creamy smooth.
In another double boiler, melt remaining 3/4 C Peanut Butter.
Spoon a small amount of the melted Chocolate into small paper bonbon cups. Spoon a small amount melted Peanut butter on top of Chocolate.
Top with another small amount of melted Chocolate.
Chill well. Yield: about 56 Candies.
Great for gift giving in pretty tins.
