Ingredients:
5 oz 70% dark chocolate
1/3 cup confectioners' sugar
1/4 cup smooth peanut butter
1/2 tablespoon butter
12 roasted peanuts
Directions:
Line 12 wells of a mini muffin pan. Using an electric mixer, thoroughly combine the sugar and peanut butter. Set aside. In a small pan, melt the butter and chocolate together over low heat, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat and allow to cool slightly. Place about a teaspoon of chocolate in each lined well and use a small spatula to coat the sides and bottom of each liner. Add about 1/2 tablespoon of the peanut butter mixture to each well. Cover each with remaining chocolate. Top each with a peanut. Refrigerate or place in a cool location until firm. Store uneaten chocolate cups in a cool, dry place.

You're gonna give Reese's a run for their money with these.
ReplyDeleteI will choose dark chocolate over milk chocolate any day-it's just so much more rich and decadent! I would never have thought about taking the time to make me own peanut butter cups but this looks so worth it!
ReplyDeleteI'd make them, but I assume you do mail order, right? Right?? No? Oh, well, to the kitchen, I guess!
ReplyDeleteThese do sound good. I'll have to try these.
ReplyDeleteHershey used to make dark chocolate Reese's miniatures?? How did I miss those? I'm a huge dark chocolate and huge peanut butter fan. These look AMAZING.
