Christmas Recipes Peanut Butter Cups
Ingredients:
2 cups sifted confectioners' sugar
1 1/2 cups smooth peanut butter, preferably all natural
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 pound bittersweet or semisweet chocolate
36 1 3/8-inch paper candy cups
1. Combine sugar, peanut butter, and butter in an electric mixer
fitted with the paddle attachment. Beat on medium-low speed until
combined. Transfer mixture to a pastry bag fitted with a 1/2-inch
plain tip, and set aside.
2. Melt chocolate in a double boiler over simmering water. Keep
melted chocolate over hot water near work area. Use a small spoon or
small paintbrush to coat insides of the paper candy cups with the
melted chocolate, making sure to cover the bottom and sides well.
Transfer cups to a rimmed baking sheet or muffin tins (which will
keep the cups from sliding around). Transfer to freezer until set,
about 10 minutes.
3. Remove cold chocolate cups from the freezer. Pipe peanut-
butter filling into each cup until three-quarters full. Spoon melted
chocolate into each cup to cover. Return to the freezer until set,
15 to 25 minutes. Peanut-butter cups may be served right away, or
kept tightly sealed in the freezer for 2 to 3 days. To serve, remove
from freezer, peel off paper, and eat cold.
