Chocolate peanut butter cups

Ingredients/Components

• vanilla - 1/2 tsp
• pkg - 12 oz
• dark corn syrup - 1/4 c
• sifted confectioners sugar - 1 c
• creamy or super chunk peanut butter - 1/2 c

How to make chocolate peanut butter cups:

Line muffin pan with paper cups. In a medium bowl, stir together the peanut butter, corn syrup and vanilla, until blended. Gradually stir in the sugar. Turn out onto a smooth surface; knead until smooth. Press with hands or use a rolling pin to make 1/2-inch thick. With 1-inch cookie cutter, cut into 1-inch rounds.

Melt chocolate, stirring often, over hot water or very low heat. Spoon about 1/2 teaspoon of the melted chocolate into each paper cup so bottom is generously covered. Place one peanut butter round on top of chocolate (gently push down). Spread on additional 1/2 teaspoon melted chocolate over top. Chill until firm. Keep stored in refrigerator. Makes about 3 dozen.
