Homemade Peanut Butter Cups recipe

30 servings

Ingredients:

2 cups milk chocolate chips

2 tablespoons shortening

1/2 cup butter

1/2 cup crunchy peanut butter

1 cup confectioners' sugar

2/3 cup graham cracker crumbs

Instructions:

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.
