Sprinkle Peanut Butter Cups

Ingredients

· 1 cup icing sugar
· ¾ cup smooth peanut butter
· 60 grams unsalted butter
· 375 grams dark chocolate

Instructions

1. Line a 24 mini cupcake pan with patty cases.

2. Place the butter, icing sugar and peanut butter into a bowl and using an electric beater beat until mixture is light and fluffy. This will take about 5 minutes.

3. Place mixture into a piping and set aside.

4. Place chocolate into a heatproof bowl and melt chocolate over a saucepan of simmering water.

5. Spoon ½ a teaspoon of melted chocolate into each mini patty cases. Tap the cupcake pan and place it into the freezer for 5 minutes or until set.

6. Pipe a small amount of the peanut butter filling over the set chocolate and using the remaining chocolate, cover the peanut butter filling. Place into freezer for about 20 minutes.

7. Serve frozen or just slightly thawed.

Tips

· Place the chocolate over the simmering water while the bottom chocolate layer is in the freezer or if the chocolate is starting to set.

· You can also add a tablespoon of vegetable oil when melting the chocolate if you want the tops to be smoother.  The oil also helps to thin the chocolate but does not affect the taste of the chocolate.
