*important side note: Gesso ate Evan's Thesis. As in, he ate the leather bound book representing 2 years of Evan's life. I told Evan to just write a new one...but he wasn't in the mood. That is all.*
Peanut butter and chocolate? Yes please!
I grew up being a big fan of Reese's Peanut Butter Cups. They were my favorite. I always hoped they'd contact me for some sort of sponsorship. Long story short, they never did.Anyway, now that I'm an adult, my taste buds want a little more than Reese's can offer.
And so I came home from work today and played around in the kitchen.
And I am very (very, very) pleased with how things turned out. Plus, as an added bonus, I'll now be able to sponsor myself. Reese's can eat my shorts.Holly Peanut Butter Cups
for the filling:
1/2 c. good quality peanut butter, chunky or creamy
1 T. melted butter
1/4 c. powdered sugar
1/4 c. brown sugar
for the chocolate sandwich:
1/4 c. whipping cream
1 c. good quality chocolate chips
For the filling, combine all ingredients in bowl and mix well. Set aside.
To prepare the chocolate, heat the whipping cream on stove top until just boiling. Pour over bowl filled with the chocolate chips. Let stand one minute and then stir to combine.
Set up 15 miniature cupcake liners. Put a small blob of prepared chocolate into the bottom of liner. Smush down with a spoon and then place a larger blob of the peanut butter combination over top. Spoon more chocolate over the peanut butter, filling the cupcake liner almost to the top.
