Homemade Peanut Butter Cups

Who doesn't love a peanut butter cup. When I think of these treats I think of scavenging through my halloween candies trying to find all the reese's before anyone else can take them. The great part about making homemade peanut butter cups is that you get to use your favourite chocolate and peanut butter. They come out so fresh and creamy.

Ingredients: 
4 cups semi-sweet chocolate chopped or chocolate chips
1 cup creamy natural peanut butter
4 tbs butter at room temperature
1/2 cup + 4 tbs confectioners sugar

Line 2 muffin pan with cupcake liners (makes 24)

Melt half the chocolate in double boiler.
Distribute a spoonful of chocolate into each cupcake liner. Flatten with back of spoon or drop pan on counter a couple times.
Place in freezer for 15 minutes.

In an electric mixer whip peanut butter and butter until smooth. Slowly add confectioners sugar until combined. Place a large spoonful of peanut butter mixture into each cup. Flatten. Place in freezer for 15 minutes.

Melt the other half of the chocolate in the double boiler.
Distribute a spoonful into cups. Flatten. Place in freezer for 15 minutes.

You can either refrigerate or leave at room temperature.


Yummy!
