Peanut Butter Cups
Source of Recipe
Sunday Dinner
List of Ingredients
1 1/2 lbs. semi-sweet or bittersweet chocolate Or 1 pkg. chocolate
cups and 1/2 lb. chocolate
6 oz. semi-sweet or bittersweet chocolate, chopped
2 C. creamy peanut butter
Recipe
Melt 1 lb. chocolate and make your own chocolate cups, using mini
paper cups that you will cover with chocolate, let set, smooth rims,
and then remove paper or you can cheat and buy the ready-made
chocolate cups.
To make filling:
Melt the 6 oz. of chocolate, remove from heat and stir until smooth;
let cool to warm room temperature. Add 2 cups of peanut butter and
stir with wooden spoon until thoroughly blended. Spoon the filling
into a sturdy resealable plastic bag and snip off the tip of one
corner. Pipe the peanut butter-chocolate filling into the chocolate
cups until it almost reaches the rims. Tap the cups lightly to
release any air bubbles. Let the peanut butter cups stand in a cool,
dry place for about an hour or until set. The filling will be soft
and creamy, but still hold its shape.
Melt remaining chocolate. Use a teaspoon and lightly coat the tops
of the peanut butter mixture to seal. Tap the cups lightly to smooth
chocolate slightly.
The peanut butter cups can be refrigerated in an airtight container
for up to a week.
