Yield 30

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 cups milk chocolate chips
2 tablespoons shortening
½ cup butter
½ cup crunchy peanut butter
1 cup confectioners' sugar
⅔ cup graham cracker crumbs

Steps:

  • In 1-quart saucepan combine chocolate chips and shortening. Cook over low heat, stirring occasionally, until melted and smooth (3 to 5 minutes).
  • Loosen top paper cup from stack, but leave in stack for greater stability while being coated. With small paint brush, coat inside top cup evenly with about 1 teaspoon melted chocolate to about 1/8-inch thickness, bringing coating almost to top of cup, but not over edge. Repeat until 30 cups are coated; refrigerate cups.
  • In 2-quart saucepan combine butter or margarine and peanut butter. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until melted (4 to 6 minutes). Stir in confectioners' sugar and graham cracker crumbs. Press about 1/2 tablespoon filling into each chocolate cup.
  • Spoon about 1/2 teaspoon melted chocolate on top of filling; spread to cover. Freeze until firm (about 2 hours) carefully peel off paper cups. Store refrigerated.

I'm allergic to peanuts, so I made these cups with almond butter instead. They turned out great!

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my cups turned out grainy. I think I might have over-mixed the peanut butter.

These cups are a great way to use up leftover peanut butter. They're also a fun and easy project to do with kids.

I was disappointed with these cups. The peanut butter filling was too runny and the chocolate coating was too thick.

These cups are the perfect combination of peanut butter and chocolate. I love that they're made with real peanut butter, and the chocolate coating is rich and creamy.

These cups were a bit too sweet for my taste, but my kids loved them. They're a great treat for a special occasion.

I'm not a huge fan of peanut butter, but I loved these cups! The peanut butter filling is rich and creamy, and the chocolate coating is perfectly tempered. I'll definitely be making these again.

These peanut butter cups were a huge hit at my last party! They're so easy to make and taste just like the store-bought ones. I will definitely be making these again.
