peanut butter cups

Hello.

Two posts in a row, wow this is impressive for me. These are so simple, I don't know how I have not made them before. They may not look like the original Reese's that we all know and love, but these homemade ones consist of 2 ingredients: peanut butter and chocolate, and still taste incredibly good. 



Ingredients

2 bars of any type of chocolate you want
1 jar of peanut butter

Method

Melt one bar of the chocolate. Any way will do.
Put one teaspoon of this into each hole of a miniature cupcake tray, the holes have a 4-5cm diameter I believe. (I only filled 9 holes)
Put this in the freezer for 10 minutes.
Then put a layer of peanut butter on top of this, leave space between the peanut butter and the edge of the tray (to allow the chocolate to flow down the side)
Melt the remainder of your chocolate, and put a teaspoon on top of the peanut butter,(or however much it takes to cover it.)
Put the tray in the freezer for about half an hour.
Take get the peanut butter cups out of the tray, just hold it upside down over a clean surface, and hit the underneath like you would a tray of ice. They should just drop out.

Tips

Leave them a little while before eating, as the chocolate will be hard and the peanut butter soft. If they are left out for say 10 minutes then the consistency will become a little more similar and they will be easier and yummier to eat. 

However, you should store them in the fridge, just so the edges don't melt a little bit. 

Servings: 8-12 (depending on your chocolate)
Time: 50mins - 1 hour.

Enjoy!
