A little goes a long way when it comes to these rich morsels. One bite and store-bought peanut butter cups will be a distant memory. Ingredients:
1 cup macadamia nuts, divided |
1/4 cup creamy peanut butter |
3 tablespoons confectioners' sugar |
3 tablespoons sour cream |
1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract |
1-1/2 pounds bittersweet chocolate, chopped |
Directions:
1. Set aside 36 macadamia nuts for garnish. Finely chop the remaining nuts; set aside.
2. In a small bowl, combine the peanut butter, confectioners' sugar, sour cream, vanilla and reserved chopped nuts. Cover and refrigerate for 15 minutes.
3. Meanwhile, in a microwave, melt chocolate; stir until smooth. Pipe about 1 teaspoon chocolate into each of 36 foil-lined miniature muffin cups. Chill for 10 minutes or until firm.
4. Spoon 1/2 teaspoon peanut butter mixture into each cup. Pipe enough additional chocolate into each cup to cover peanut butter filling. Top each with a macadamia nut. Chill for 10 minutes or until firm. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Yield: 3 dozen.
