Peanut Butter Cups

I make a lot of candy every Christmas to share with friends and coworkers. My absolute favorite candy recipe is this easy Peanut Butter Cup. If you plan your own candy making day, then you should definitely add this to your list. It makes approximately 60 candies.

9 oz white chocolate squares
8 oz semisweet chocolate squares
1 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter (divided use)
1/3 cup cocktail peanuts, chopped
small candy making cups*

Heat white chocolate and 3/4 cup peanut butter over low heat, stirring occasionally. Spoon peanut butter mixture into cups and refrigerate 10 minutes. Heat semisweet chocolate and 3/4 cup peanut butter over low heat, stirring occasionally. (I use the same pan, just be sure to blend well.) Spoon into cups and then sprinkle with chopped peanuts.

Store the candies covered in the refrigerator for up to a week or in the freezer for up to a month.



*Make sure your cups are for candy and not baking. Otherwise they will stick and not be pretty.
