This luscious candy featuries a dark chocolate shell and a gooey peanut butter center. Ingredients:
1 cup creamy peanut butter, divided |
4-1/2 teaspoons butter, softened |
1/2 cup confectioners' sugar |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
2 cups (12 ounces) semisweet chocolate chips |
4 milk chocolate candy bars (1.55 ounces each), coarsely chopped |
colored sprinkles, optional |
Directions:
1. In a small bowl, combine 1/2 cup peanut butter, butter, confectioners' sugar and salt until smooth; set aside.
2. In a small microwave-safe bowl, melt the chocolate chips, candy bars and remaining peanut butter; stir until smooth.
3. Drop teaspoonfuls of chocolate mixture into paper-lined miniature muffin cups. Top each with a scant teaspoonful of peanut butter mixture; top with another teaspoonful of chocolate mixture. Decorate with sprinkles if desired. Refrigerate until set. Store in an airtight container.
4. Yield: 3 dozen.
