these were so easy!! i made them in a silicone mini tartlet tray. i coated the tray with a thin layer of melted chocolate, then rolled about 3/4 tsp filling into a little ball, flattening with my hand so that it would fit perfectly into the trays. i topped it with more melted chocolate and then turned them out after they had firmed up. (that's my picture posted with the recipe... the silicone tray is what made the bottoms so shiny and perfect.) my kids LOVED them! :)

Best peanut butter cups recipe I’ve ever had!!

Nice, with the addition of brown sugar. I would let it melt with the butter, not to stay grainy, like mine did, a bit. I had to use bit more chocolate, as well. Turned out very cute, like in the picture.
