"This recipe is great for using up any leftover candy. If you're a fan of peanut butter cups, you'll probably want to make these cookies all-year long without having any special reason or occasion. This recipe has been adapted from one of the world's best chocolate makers, Jacques Torres. There's no beating his recipe, but this one is pretty good -- if not better.
