Recipe Summary Homemade Peanut Butter Cups

Just like the candy! You'll need 30 mini (1 3/4 by 1 1/4 inch) paper cups for filling.

Ingredients | Tropical Smoothie Cafe Peanut Butter Cup

2 cups milk chocolate chips

2 tablespoons shortening

½ cup butter

½ cup crunchy peanut butter

1 cup confectioners' sugar

⅔ cup graham cracker crumbs

Directions

In 1-quart saucepan combine chocolate chips and shortening. Cook over low heat, stirring occasionally, until melted and smooth (3 to 5 minutes).

Loosen top paper cup from stack, but leave in stack for greater stability while being coated. With small paint brush, coat inside top cup evenly with about 1 teaspoon melted chocolate to about 1/8-inch thickness, bringing coating almost to top of cup, but not over edge. Repeat until 30 cups are coated; refrigerate cups.

In 2-quart saucepan combine butter or margarine and peanut butter. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until melted (4 to 6 minutes). Stir in confectioners' sugar and graham cracker crumbs. Press about 1/2 tablespoon filling into each chocolate cup.

Spoon about 1/2 teaspoon melted chocolate on top of filling; spread to cover. Freeze until firm (about 2 hours) carefully peel off paper cups. Store refrigerated.
