Description

This is one of my hubby’s favorites. My blog shows step-by-step photos, making this with real chocolate (no animal fat).

Note: Tempering is the process that will allow you to shape and mold chocolate, with the end result having a nice shine, a crisp snap. You cannot achieve this with melting, unless you are using fake chocolate (flavored animal fat).

Ingredients

  • ½ pounds Dark Chocolate
  • 1 cup Peanut Butter
  • ¼ pounds Powdered Sugar

Preparation

Temper the chocolate (see the note in the short description). This can be done by hand, or with a tempering unit. The tempering unit is MUCH easier.

With a hand mixer, beat peanut butter and powdered sugar together, until combined and fluffy.

You can use foil cupcake wrappers, or silicone, of any size. (I have a grande size featured in the picture.)

Fill wrappers 1/2 way with chocolate.

Using a brush (or fingers), make sure the sides of the cupcake wrappers are completely covered with chocolate.

Pipe in peanut butter mixture, filling cups 2/3 full.

Cover with tempered chocolate, making sure to cover all the peanut butter.

Refrigerate for 25 minutes. Enjoy!

These sound great!! Would you take a couple minutes to add additional instructions for tempering the chocolate? Our goal is for folks to have everything that they need to complete a recipe in this one location. However, they can always click on the “Related Link” to see photos, etc. We just want to make sure instructions are complete so that they don’t have to move around to other sites unless they want/need to. It’s a convenience thing more than anything – I hope you understand… When done, click ‘make recipe visible’ and ’save’ and we’ll get this posted.
Thanks,
TKNanci
