Peanut Butter Cups

I'm never eating a Reeses Peanut Butter Cup again! Seriously. This homemade version is better. Easy. Fast. Delicious!

In a bowl combine:

1 C peanut butter
1/4 C butter, room temperature
1 1/4 C powdered sugar
1/2 tsp vanilla
pinch of salt

Combine all ingredients until smooth. It should be like a thick paste/dough. Use about a teaspoon and a half to form a small round patties and set aside.

In a double boiler melt about 2 C of chocolate.

Use the back of a small spoon to smear a blob into each compartment of the mini tartlet tray.

Drop in a peanut butter disc.

Cover the disc with more melted chocolate.

Place the tray in your fridge (10 minutes) or freezer (5 minutes) until the chocolate has hardened. Pop the bite sized pieces of heaven out of the tray and enjoy!

This recipe will make about 45 morsels.
