Solid Peanut Butter Cups

Yield: 12 peanut butter cups

Prep Time: 15

Total Time: 15

Ingredients

12 ounces (340 g) melted chocolate, I used 9 ounces semi-sweet squares and 3 ounces white chocolate squares
1 cup (255 g) creamy peanut butter
½ cup (57 g) confectioner's sugar
½ teaspoon vanilla

Instructions

Melt chocolate according to package directions, taking care not to overheat. I melted the semisweet and white chocolate separately and then mixed together.
To melted chocolate add peanut butter, sugar and vanilla. Mix well. Spoon or pipe (I used a decorating bag with a large round tip) chocolate mixture into small baking cups. Refrigerate until set. Enjoy!

Notes

Video Tip: here's a quick video tip on tempering/melting chocolate and another on dipping things in chocolate like a pro.

Chocolate: my preferred brand of chocolate is Ghirardelli.
