directions
- Set 2 dozen mini muffins wrappers on a baking sheet. Melt half of the chocolate, using a microwave-safe bowl and cooking it in short 30 second intervals until smooth.
- Using a spoon, pour a little bit of chocolate in each muffin wrapper and using a small clean brush to paint the chocolate up the sides of each wrapper. Chill candy for 20-30 minutes.

YUMMMY !!!!!!!!! This are so good and easy but a bit time consuming. Make sure to sift the sugar into the peanut butter so there are no lumps. I used a spoon to mix since I thought a wisk would get filled with the creamy mixture to easily. I used foil tart shells and this worked well a bit finicky to remove. BUT next time I will try to find those teent tiny paper cups to make them a one bite treat since we find the chocolate melts so quickly and what a mess BUT a good finger licking mess. LOL The biggest problem is I have 18 of these in my fridge calling my name LOLThanks for a yummy recipe I did this for the My 3 Chefs fall 2008 contest

I live with my husband in Joliet, IL. I'm a network administrator and also teach step aerobics. My hobby during warmer weather is my vegetable garden. I love to cook and make up interesting recipes. I've recently been put on a restricted diet. No dairy, gluten, wheat, oats, sugar. So, I'm looking for ways to spice up my meals. I cook non-restricted meals often as my husband can eat whatever he wants and I love to cook for him. But, once a week, I make him something "interesting" and healthy and he has to at least try it. So far, it's been a big hit.
