How To Make homemade peanut butter cups

  • Step 1
    Start out with a clean sauce pan..Make sure there is NO liquid as this will cause the almond bark to get crunchy and ruin.. On very low heat, Melt the almond bark, adding a little of the bark at a time.
  • Step 2
    After all the bark is melted, slowly add the chocolate chips until melted ( Note: You can use peanut butter chip for extra peanut butter flavor!)Keep stirring until it's creamy.
  • Step 3
    Add the peanut butter and slowly stir until all is incorperated. DO not allow to cool at this stage...
  • Step 4
    Use the tiny candy cups, fill all the way to the top. You can place a peanut on each if you want. Place the candies in the fridge until they are completely set.
