Holiday Treats: Homemade Peanut Butter Cups


By Chic and Green (Visit website)



Yum. Each one looks different depending on how you pour the layers.


This is the peanut butter filling. It's creamy peanut butter mixed with melted white chocolate.


These rich peanut butter delights are topped with chopped dry roasted peanuts.


Every now and then you make a treat you fully intend on giving away as gifts, but that you just cannot bear to part with. These are so sinfully rich and decadent that you'll want to make them again and again.

I like peanut butter cups as much as the next gal. They are good, but not a must have in my candy repertoire. I decided to make homemade peanut butter cups yesterday afternoon. These are good. Really good.

Dear Martha Stewart,

I think you're awesome. Actually, I think your magazines from 2008 are awesome. First of all, this is the year my facial cream was featured in Body + Soul. Second, earlier in the year, this recipe was featured in Everyday Food. Thank you for a great year of magazines.

Sincerely,

KZM


NOTES: Below you will find the original Martha Stewart recipe. I tripled this one. Depending on how high you fill the cups, you'll get 8-10 large cups rather than the minis below. I also substituted Nestle Premium White chips rather than white chopped chocolate since they're on sale for only $1.69 at Wegmans this week. I used Nestle Semisweet Chocolate Chips instead of the chopped semisweet.



Ingredients


4 ounces white chocolate, chopped1/2 cup smooth peanut butter12 ounces semisweet or bittersweet chocolate, chopped2 tablespoons unsalted roasted peanuts, chopped



Line two 12-cup mini muffin pans with paper liners; set aside. In a microwave-safe bowl, combine white chocolate and peanut butter. Microwave, until almost melted, 1 to 1 1/2 minutes, stirring halfway through. Set aside to cool slightly.Meanwhile, place semisweet chocolate in another microwave-safe bowl. Microwave, stirring once or twice, until almost melted, 2 to 3 minutes.Dividing evenly, use a spoon to layer semisweet chocolate and peanut-butter mixture into liners, beginning and ending with chocolate; sprinkle with peanuts. Place muffin pans in freezer until peanut butter cups are firm, about 15 minutes. Bring to room temperature before serving.
