Copycat Reeses Peanut Butter Cups Recipes

Steps:

• Put chocolate chips, chocolate bars, and 1/4 c peanut butter in top.
• of double boiler over HOT, not boiling water, stirring till smooth.
• Use small muffin tin liners, or cut regular cupcake liners down to a 1" depth.
• Spoon HALF of the chocolate mixture equally into the liners.
• Melt the rest of the peanut butter over hot water, and spoon this equally over the chocolate layer.
• Top with remaining chocolate.
• Refrigerate to allow cups to set up before serving.
• 12 Large / 24 Tiny.

Steps:

• In a small bowl, mix the salt, peanut butter and powdered sugar until firm.
• Melt the chocolate chips in a double boiler over hot, not boiling water (OR you can melt them in the microwave for about two minutes, stirring midway).
• Grease muffin-tin cups and spoon some chocolate into each, filling halfway.
• With the back of a spoon, draw the chocolate up the edges of each cup until all sides are coated.
• Cool in the refrigerator until firm.
• Spread about a teaspoon of peanut butter mixture onto the chocolate in each cup, leaving room for the final chocolate layer.
• Pour some chocolate (I imagine you will need to re-heat it) onto the top of each candy and spread it to the edges.
• Let sit at room temperature or covered in the refrigerator.
• Turn out of pan when firm.

Steps:

• Combine everything but the chocolate chips, and press in a greased 8x8" pan.
• Spread melted chocolate chips over top with a spatula, covering entire surface. Chill 2 hours.

Steps:

• In a large bowl mix peanut butter, cracker crumbs, melted butter, and sugar. Use a whisk if it's lumpy.
• I then use my smallest cookie scoop and fill, not quite to the top, Wilton 1 1/4 inch diameter mini baking cups. (You can buy them at Wal-Mart, Canadian Tire, and the fancy ones at Michaels.).
• Put them on a cookie sheet and stick them in the freezer to set.
• In the meantime melt the chocolate chips. Use a spoon and put a dollop on top, spread it out to the edges.
• Return to the freezer to set the chocolate.
• I've also used a Ziploc baggy with the corner snipped to fill the cups but find my cookie scoop much easier.
• If you don't have the mini baking cups you can spread into a 9x9 baking dish but I recommend lining with foil and when set; remove, turn upside down and cut into the peanut butter side.

Steps:

• In top of double boiler over hot, not boiling water, melt the chocolate with half the peanut butter.
• Stir until smooth.
• For extra creaminess, add the 4 T. margarine.
• Put the remaining chocolate in top of another double boiler over simmering water.
• Melt the peanut butteruntil pouring consistency.
• Place 24 mini muffin paper cups inside cupcake or muffin tins.
• Pour all of the melted peanut butter equally over the chocolate.
• Next, pour the remaining chocolate equally over the peanut butter.
• Let stand at room temperature in a covered container for up to a week or may be frozen for months.

Steps:

• In a small bowl, mix the peanut butter, salt and powdered sugar until firm. Slowly melt the chocolate chips in a double boiler over hot, not boiling, water. You may also melt them in a microwave oven set on high for 2 minutes, stirring halfway through the heating time. Grease the muffin tin cups and spoon some chocolate into each cup, filling halfway. With a spoon, draw the chocolate up the edges of each cup until all sides are coated. Cool in the refrigerator until firm. Spread some of the peanut butter onto the chocolate in each cup, leaving room for the final chocolate layer. Cool the cups again to firm up the peanut butter. Pour some chocolate onto the top of each candy and spread it to the edges. Let sit at room temperature, or covered in the refrigerator. Turn out of the pan when firm.
