Chocolate Peanut Butter Cups

I was looking for a sandwich recipe, and this came up on the side bar.  I stopped searching immediately.  This looked too yummy to pass up, plus I know my boys would love it!

Ingredients

• 1 (11.5 ounce) package milk chocolate chips, divided
• 1 cup peanut butter
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 cup confectioners' sugar

Directions

1. Trim 12 paper muffin cup liners to half of their height.
2. Place 1/2 chocolate chips in a microwave safe container. Microwave for 2 minutes, stirring after each minute. Spoon melted chocolate into muffin cups, filling halfway. With a spoon, draw the chocolate up the sides of the cups until evenly coated. Cool in the refrigerator until firm.
3. In a small bowl, mix together peanut butter, confectioners' sugar and salt. divide into the chocolate cups. Melt the remaining chocolate, and spoon over peanut butter. Spread chocolate to edges of cups.

I mixed the bottoms of two jars of peanut butter, one smooth and one crunchy. The rest of the recipe I followed as written.

How did it turn out?
These.Were.Delicious!  They tasted just like bought peanut butter cups.  They would definitely rival the Reese's brand cups, but Josh claims that Wal-Mart brand is the best and hard to beat.  You'll have to weigh if the cost of the materials plus the time making them is worth the effort.  Since I got such a great deal on both chocolate chips and peanut butter, I say, definitely worth it!  My boys (+girl) loved them as expected. :0)


What about the kids?
Both enjoyed and asked for seconds.  They are pretty messy because the chocolate melts pretty quickly in little hands.  They'll get their seconds tomorrow after lunch.
