peanut butter cups!!

i made peanut butter cups this past weekend. they were absolutely delicious. more delicious than peanut butter cups you can buy, i thought. a bonus was they were really quite simple. took maybe 3o minutes, max, and not at all complicated. i just melted chocolate chips in a double boiler, spread some chocolate at the bottom of a dozen cupcake liners, popped em in the freezer for about 10 minutes so the chocolate would solidify faster, put the peanut butter filling on top of the bottom chocolate shells, and spread more chocolate on top of that. the peanut butter filling was super easy, just natural peanut butter mixed with powdered sugar until it was stiff and dough-like. i made my own powdered sugar by throwing raw cane sugar in the blender for 5 minutes or so, but you can use whatever.

anyway, very easy and so so so good. i'm already plotting when i can make them again.
