Homemade Peanut Butter Cups

Homemade Peanut Butter Cups - Reese's peanut butter cups might be the best candy ever, but make them at home with just a handful of ingredients. So easy!
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 2 Tbls butter
- pinch of salt
- 2 cups milk chocolate
- 1 Tbls shortening
Instructions
- Line a mini muffin tray with liners.
- Place peanut butter, butter, and salt into a microwave safe bowl. Microwave for about 20 seconds, just to get it soft. Be careful not to melt the butter. Stir in the sugar until it is well combined.
- Melt the chocolate and the shortening together over a double broiler.
- Fill the bottom of each muffin liner with a teaspoon of melted chocolate. Top with about a teaspoon of the peanut butter mixture. Finally, cover each one with more chocolate. Bang the muffin tin on the counter to remove any bubbles.
