Chocolate Peanut Butter Cups

This is a very rich recipe for Chocolate Peanut Butter Cups. It takes only two ingredients, so it's super simple to make. And, they take just about an hour to set up, so they'll be ready for dessert the same night you make them! My girls can make these on their own now, and those are the best kinds of recipes, I think. :-)

Behold the beautiful Chocolate Peanut Butter Cup!

Chocolate Peanut Butter Cups

Ingredients:

2 - 1 lb. bags of vegan chocolate chips
12 tsp. creamy peanut butter

Directions:

Melt the chocolate in a double boiler. To do this, take a small pot filled half-way with water. Put it over high heat. Put either a medium pot or a medium mixing bowl on top of the smaller pot. Add the chips in to the top pot/bowl. You don't want the water to boil, so when it gets pretty hot, just turn it down to medium. Stir the chocolate chips until they melt, just a few minutes. Set aside. Fill a cupcake tray with paper cupcake liners. Spoon 1 and 1/2 tablespoons to 2 tablespoons of melted chocolate into the bottom of each liner. You mainly want to be sure that the bottom of the liner is completely covered. Spoon one teaspoon of peanut butter onto the center of each chocolate bottom. Finish covering with the remaining chocolate. Chill for about an hour, until firm to the touch. These actually are easier to eat if they come out of the fridge for at least five minutes first. Before that, they are a bit too hard. But don't let them warm up too much! Makes one dozen, which feeds five hungry vegans for a couple of days.
