Aubrey's Peanut Butter Cups

About 1 bag chocolate melting pieces (or 2 cups) NOT chocolate chips!
1 cup peanut butter
About 1 cup powdered sugar
Mini muffin tray and paper liners

Pour about an inch of water into a medium-sized pot and place a bowl over the pot to make a double-boiler. Turn the heat on low and bring the water to a simmer. Melt the chocolate in the bowl until smooth and completely melted.
Place the paper liners in each cup of the mini muffin tray. Drop about 1 small spoonful into each cup (about halfway up the side). With your spoon, push the chocolate up the sides of the cups to make sort of a well in the cups. Place the tray in the fridge for 5 minutes or more to harden.
Meanwhile, make the peanut butter filling. Mix together the peanut butter with the powdered sugar, mixing in a little bit of the sugar at a time until the peanut butter is like soft dough. Take the hardened cups out of the fridge and drop in about a teaspoon of the peanut butter in each cup. Flatten it down with your spoon, and make sure it will not poke up out of the top.
Melt some more chocolate (if needed) in your double-boiler. Pour enough chocolate over the tops of the cups to cover the peanut butter and to "seal off" the cups. Place back in the fridge and let harden for about 10 minutes.
Keep in the fridge in a zip-top bag or plastic container.

*These peanut butter cups take a little bit of work, but are well worth the effort. Who doesn't like homemade candy? You could even use the bigger muffin tins if you wanted, but just spread the chocolate and peanut butter a little thinner - like a real peanut butter cup. This is a fun thing to do with kids on a lazy Saturday afternoon. They can help you stir the melted chocolate, stir the peanut butter mixture and help you drop in the chocolate and peanut butter in each of the cups. I used a mixture of milk and dark chocolate, but you can use whatever you like. You can even use white chocolate! The chocolate I used can be found at most craft stores in the baking section. They are usually close to the chocolate molds that they have, and are available in lots of different colors. You could make them different colors for different holidays even! Try making these yummy peanut butter cups at home - it's guaranteed to make you smile!
