Ingredients




3/4 cup peanut butter
1/2 cup confectioners sugar
1 1/2 cups chocolate chips
2/3 cup peanut butter

Preparation

1 Mix 3/4 cup peanut butter and confectioners sugar together.  2 Melt chocolate chips with 2/3 cup peanut butter on low heat in a double boiler. Make sure not to let any water or steam get into the chocolate -- just a drop can ruin an entire batch of chocolate!  3 Cover the bottom and sizes of the muffin cups with the melted chocolate mixture. Only use half of the chocolate mixture -- you'll need the rest for Step 5. Let set in the refrigerator; about 3 minutes.
 4 Roll the peanut butter mixture into small balls, slightly smaller than the size of the muffin cups.  5 When the muffin cups have set, take them out of the fridge and quickly put the balls into the cups. Cover the peanut butter balls with the remaining chocolate mix. 6 Return to the refrigerate for 30 minutes or until completely set. Store in the refrigerator in an airtight container.
