Em's peanut butter cups

I decided to do a chocolate theme, as mentioned in my preparations for my engagement party, and I was thinking of different chocolates to make. Dillan (My fiance’s son) said to me “You should make peanut butter chocolates” at first I laughed, but then I thought – why not? It was such a good idea and so easy to make – I thought I would share the recipe with you….

My version of peanut butter cups

Ingredients:
Chocolate
Peanut Butter

Tools:
Chocolate moulds
Paint brush (for food use only)
Microwave safe bowl
Spoon

1. Put chocolate in bowl and melt it in microwave or melt over stove with a double boiler. I melted it in the microwave, just make sure you do it 30 seconds at a time and stir each time to check on it and make sure it doesn’t burn. For a the stove put water in a saucepan and put the bowl on top of the saucepan and stir until melted.
2. Once chocolate is melted, use a small spoon to pour a little into each mould and use the paint brush to brush chocolate up the mould – try not to overfill with chocolate as this is where the peanut butter will be going.
3. Place in the fridge for 10 – 15 minutes to set
4. Use a small spoon to fill the chocolate cups with peanut butter, I used smooth, but crunchy would be good. You do not want to fill up too much, and try and smooth the top a little
5. Melt some more chocolate and use a small spoon to pour a little over the top of each cup, once the moulds are all full, tap it on the bench to smooth it out and put back in the fridge to set.
6. Leave in the fridge until set, once set gently push out of moulds and you are done

Make sure you make a few extras to taste…. Yummmmmm
