Home Made Peanut Butter Cups - ***Warning Contains Nuts***

Use 12 mini cupcake liners

Melt 3/4 c semi sweet chocolate chips.  Add 2 tbsp of peanut butter to the melted chocolate, and stir.

Place 1 tsp of the chocolate mixture into each liner.  I use a chopstick to swirl it around and make a small impression in the middle.  It also helps to spread the chocolate up the sides a bit. Refrigerate.

Meanwhile, mix 1/2 c creamy natural peanut butter, 1/4 c powder sugar, a pinch of sea salt, and 1/2 tsp vanilla extract into a pasty mixture.

Divide peanut butter mixture between the 12 liners.  Form into balls and pat down a bit.  Top them off with more melted chocolate mixture (you may need to reheat the mixture if it has cooled too much).  Spread the chocolate over the PB.

Chill 1 hour.  These make great gifts.  They are also nice just to have around for a special treat.  The chocolate is super creamy.  You can sprinkle a bit of sea salt on top as well if you like a more sweet/salty combo.  You can also top these with mini pretzels before chilling.  YUM!
