Instructions
1 In a double boiler, combine the two chocolates and the unsalted butter, heating until the chocolate is melted and smooth. 2 Once chocolate has melted, place regular-sized muffin papers into a muffin tin. 3 Pour about 1 tablespoon of melted chocolate into the paper, using a spoon to spread the chocolate around the base, as well as the sides, of the paper cup. (Note: There will be some chocolate left over. This will go on the top of your peanut butter cups!) 4 Place the muffin tin into the freezer, and let cool for 30 minutes, or until the cups are hard. 5 While the chocolate is setting, stir the peanut butter, brown sugar and vanilla extract. Stir those until just combined, then set aside. 6 When the chocolate cups have been pulled out of the freezer, dollop about two tablespoons of the peanut butter mixture into them. 7 Spread the peanut butter mixture out evenly, then top each peanut butter cup with another tablespoon of melted chocolate. 8 Let set in the freezer for another 15 minutes, then enjoy!View original recipe
