Peanut Butter Cups


Was in the mood for a little sweet snack and wanted to do something with homemade pecan butter, but that didn't work. Have to do a little more research on making that. So I made this with regular peanut butter - of course me only having natural no salted organic peanut butter that is what I used but I'm sure Jiffy or any other PB would work. Very similar to a Reese's Peanut Butter Cup. This can be a little time consuming (I only made 4), but it was really yummy and well worth it!

Recipe
Ingredients

3/4-1 Cup Dark Chocolate
1 Tbsp Peanut Butter for each Cup
mini cupcake liners

Melt chocolate in a double boiler. Using a pastry brush coat the inside of the cupcake liners with the melted chocolate. Put in the freezer for a few minutes until chocolate has hardened. Put another layer of chocolate in the liners. Freeze until hard. Scoop the peanut butter in the cups leaving enough room on top to top with more chocolate.

Freeze until chocolate is hard. I stored mine in the freezer and they were a perfect little snack when I was ready for them :)

I also put a small slice of banana in the bottom of a couple of the liners (after the 2 layers of chocolate).
