; Isn't she a cutie?
After much deliberation and pouring over cookbooks and my fellow baking blogs, we came to the decision to make an amazing recipe for Peanut Butter Cups from Genesis of a baker, which are very easy and oh so good! Thank you!!
Here she starts with Mixing the peanut butter, vanilla, salt and confectioners sugar for the filling.
Mixing, Mixing! Don't you just love her nails? I do!
Melt the chocolate in the microwave checking every 30 seconds so I will not burn. She took some of the pictures too! Love this one.
(As you can see she used a mini muffin pan but we,I didn't use muffin cups papers which are VERY helpful and would make it easier to get them out of the pan and easier to enjoy!)
Place the muffin papers in the pan ( if we remembered to use them this would have been the time to line the cups)
Place the pan in the refrigerator and let it cool.
After the chocolate has hardened, fill with a generous amount of the peanut butter mixture. Then cover with more melted chocolate then place in the oven for 30 minutes to harden.
After we put them in the refrigerator to chill and had a little lunch of Roasted Chicken salad with tomato's and goat cheese...
We took them out and popped them out of the cups.
Here they are! As I mentioned before, I didn't use cup liners so it was a little bit of a chore to get them out of the mini Muffin pan but with a little nudging, I got them to come out. There are a few that we topped with white chocolate because we ran short of chocolate, but they were good just the same. I suppose you could do them all in white chocolate too, if you prefer. They were good!!!
I hope you try these soon and remember to use the muffin liners. I am also trying to improve my food photos but I am sure that will come in time. I had such a great day having my daughter bake with me.
Enjoy,
