Homemade Peanut Butter Cups!

I've been wanting to make these for a while and finally got around to it, and my parents LOVE them.

I used semi sweet chocolate chips because I didn't realize till later that we had milk chocolate chips, which I plan on making them with as well.

My mom really enjoyed the filling of them too.

What you'll need;

Chocolate coating:

4 tbsp creamy peanut butter

Pinch of salt

1 3/4 cups of chocolate chips

Peanut butter filling;

3/4 cup peanut butter

1/3 cup powdered sugar (you might need more depending on the consistency you prefer)

Pinch of salt

First start with a muffin pin and line with liners.

Next, in a small bowl, combine peanut butter, chocolate, and salt and melt in the microwave, use 15sec intervals to make sure the chocolate doesn't burn.

Depending on how much chocolate you want, spoon 1-2 teaspoons of the chocolate into the paper liners and smooth it around, smooth half way up the sides too.

Put in fridge to set.

Now for the filling, mix the peanut butter, powdered sugar, and salt in a bowl adding more powdered sugar if needed. 

Spoon into chocolate liners and put in the fridge for 15mins to help set.

Add the rest of the chocolate over the top of the peanut butter.

It's best to keep them in the fridge so they don't get too soft, or even freeze them for a special treat!

Enjoy!
