Home Made Peanut Butter Cups!

This recipe was from an old issue of EveryDay with Rachael Ray.  These candies were very easy to make and tasted delicious!  I'm not a huge peanut butter fan, but I did love these.

Enjoy!


Ingredients:
8 oz. of milk chocolate- chopped
4 tbsp. of unsalted butter- softened
3/4 cup creamy peanut butter
1/2 cup honey

Directions: Place 12- 2 1/2 inch liners on a baking sheet.  In a double boiler, melt the chocolate. Reserve the pot of hot water to keep the chocolate liquid, if necessary.

Place about 2 teaspoon of chocolate in a baking cup, swirling to coat about half way up the sides. Repeat with remaining cups and then refrigerate until set.  

Using an electric mixer, beat the butter for two minutes until fluffy.  Beat in peanut butter and honey. Beat for 1-2 minutes.  Transfer mixture to a resealable plastic bag, and snip off the corner.  

Fill the chocolate cups from the refrigerator to 3/4 full with peanut butter mixture, smoothing the surface.  Refrigerate for 15 minutes.

Then top each cup with the remaining liquid chocolate to enclose, smooth out the top if need be.  Refrigerate until hardened. I lightly sprinkles some kosher salt on tip to give it some add depth to the flavor.
