How To Make mini peanut butter cups

Step 1

In a small bowl, combine 1/2 cup peanut butter, butter, confectioners sugar and salt until smooth; set aside. I use my electric mixer until it's very smooth and creamy. Few minutes

Step 2

In a microwave, melt the chocolate chips, candy bars and remaining peanut butter; stir until smooth.
Step 3

Line mini muffin cups with muffin papers. Drop by teaspoonfuls of chocolate into muffin cups papers. This will fill bottom quarter or so with chocolate.
Step 4

Drop rounded small teaspoon balls of peanut butter into center of each cup. Top with another teaspoon of chocolate, covering peanut butter.
Step 5

Decorate top with sprinkles if desired. Refrigerate until set and store in an air tight container.
