Everyone knows that chocolate and peanut butter were created to be together; a match made in fat heaven. Reeces know it, M&Ms and Whittakers know it. Now you can blend these two beautiful things together in elegant little cups just perfect for showing off and/or making people sick.
250g Milk Chocolate
1 Tbsp Butter
24 Mini Cupcake or Confectionery Cups
3/4 cup Smooth Peanut Butter
3/4 cup Icing Sugar
1 Tbsp Butter, melted
Melt the chocolate and the butter in a bowl over a saucepan of water. Use a pastry brush and coat the inside of the cups. This does not have to be even but should be reasonably thick so as to hold together. Allow cups to set.
Combine the peanut butter, icing sugar and melted butter. Roll into small balls, place in the cups and then flatten slightly. Leave a gap of about 3mm at the top of each one. Coat the tops with the remaining melted chocolate and allow to set.
I had a little filling left over (and a new cake decorating set to test out) so I added some more icing sugar and a dash of hot water and made a simple icing to decorate the tops with.
