peanut butter cups

today i made peanut butter cups. this easy recipe can be completed in less than thirty minutes and produces 24 mini cups. 12 oz of bittersweet chocolate is melted in a glass bowl in the microwave. 4 oz of white chocolate is mixed with 1/2 cup smooth peanut butter in another glass bowl and melted in the microwave. mini cupcake papers are used in a muffin pan and the dark chocolate is placed on the bottom of each of the cups. then the peanut butter white chocolate filling is placed into the cups in the second layer, and finally the cups are topped off with the remaining bittersweet chocolate. i used about 1/2 cup of chopped peanuts and placed them on top of the cups. then, the muffin pan is placed in the freezer for several hours. when ready to serve the cups, they must be brought to room temperature. this recipe could be adapted with other combinations of chocolate or nuts. quick, easy and so tasty!
