Day 28 – January 28 2010 – Food day 119 More Reeses Peanutbutter Cups #project365 #Photography
 |
Recipe Origin: Life in a peanut shell
|
Ingredients:
|
12 mini cupcake liners
3/4 cup Milk Chocolate chips (or semi sweet if you prefer)
1/2 cup creamy natural peanut butter + 2 generous Tbsp to add to the melted chocolate
|
1/4 cup powdered sugar
1/2 tsp pure vanilla extract
a pinch fine sea salt [if your PB is already salted, it's optional to add more]
|
Directions:
| 1. | Melt the chocolate chips in the microwave in 30 second intervals until smooth. Add 2 generous tablespoons of peanut butter and stir to incorporate. Let cool for 5 minutes. |
| 2. | Line a mini cupcake pan with mini liners. Place a heaping teaspoon of melted chocolate in each mini cupcake liner and spread it all over the place with the back of a spoon. repeat with all 12 liners. |
| 3. | Place the cupcake tin into your freezer and allow it to harden. |
| 4. | Meanwhile, stir together peanut butter, vanilla, salt, and sugar to form a paste. Make sure you knead in all the ingredients. |
| 5. | Divide peanut butter paste into all 12 liners, pressing down gently to make sure the paste goes everywhere. [I took a a heaping teaspoon and rolled it into a ball, then flattened it and placed it into the liners] |
| 6. | Top with heaping teaspoon of chocolate [melt it again if needed], spreading carefully so that none of the PB paste can be seen. |
| 7. | Chill in fridge/freezer for at least one hour. |
I made them again! This time they looked more like the Reese’s you buy in the store but they were greasier than the first time, but on the upside I used bakers chocolate instead of milk chocolate chips and they didn’t melt as easily! These reese’s remained hidden in my Grandma’s freezer until my Aunt, Uncle and Cousin arrived so they could have some!
