Recipe for Chocolate Peanut Butter Cups

chocolate and peanut butter is the
perfect combination of sweet and salty
hi I’m Rebecca Braden and welcome to
watchmojo.com and today we’ll be showing
you how to make peanut butter cups right
at home for this recipe you’ll need two
cups of milk or semi-sweet chocolate
chips two tablespoons of shortening half
a cup of butter 1/2 a cup of crunchy
peanut butter one cup of confectioner’s
sugar and two thirds of a cup graham
cracker crumbs in a medium saucepan
combine the peanut butter and butter and
cook that over medium heat until it’s
completely melted
now mixing the confectioner sugar and
graham cracker crumbs
leave your peanut butter mixture to cool
while you prepare your workspace place
mini cupcake papers on a cookie sheet
and set that aside
next in the top of a double boiler melt
the chocolate and shortening until the
mixture is smooth
now cover the bottom of your papers with
a layer of the melted chocolate
take your peanut butter filling and form
it into small balls and place each of
those in a cupcake paper then take your
chocolate and cover each of those balls
with more chocolate
you may be tempted to fill your papers
completely with chocolate to the top but
I find that makes it way harder to get
them out later so make sure you leave a
little space now place your candies in
the freezer until you’re ready to serve
feel free to use creamy peanut butter if
you prefer a smooth flavor either way
these will be sure to please your sweet
tooth
