Peanut Butter Cups

1. Melt half the chocolate in the microwave until smooth and silky. You can also do this in a saucepan over boiling water but using the microwave is quicker and easier.

2. Use a small spoon or small paintbrush to coat the insides of small paper cups with the melted chocolate, making sure to cover the bottom and sides well. Allow to cool. If it’s still not set within 10 minutes, transfer them to the freezer until it hardens. You can use mini muffin pans to stop them from sliding around.

3. Combine peanut butter, butter and icing sugar in an electric mixer. Mix on low to medium speed for about 2 minutes or until combined. Pipe peanut-butter filling into each cup until three-quarters full.

4. Melt the remaining half of the chocolate. Spoon melted chocolate into each cup to cover. Again, you can let it set by itself or transfer it back to the freezer for a few minutes. These peanut butter cups are best eaten within 2 – 3 days.
