Ingredients
  • 8 ounce Hershey's chocolate bars
  • 1 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
Directions
  1. 1
    Line a standard 12-cup muffin tin with paper cupcake liners.
  2. 2
    In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the chocolate bars and 1/2 cup of the peanut butter.
  3. 3
    Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring well between each interval, until the chocolate and peanut butter are completely melted and smooth.
  4. 4
    Spoon approximately 1 tablespoon of the chocolate-peanut butter mixture into each cupcake liner.
  5. 5
    Place the muffin tin in the refrigerator for 30 minutes to allow the base layer to set firmly.
  6. 6
    While the base sets, microwave the remaining 1 cup of peanut butter in a small bowl in 30-second intervals until melted and pourable.
  7. 7
    Remove the tin from the refrigerator and drizzle a small amount of the melted peanut butter over the center of each cup.
  8. 8
    Return the tin to the refrigerator for another 30 minutes to set the peanut butter layer.
  9. 9
    Melt any remaining chocolate if needed, or re-melt a portion of the first mixture, and top each cup with a final layer of chocolate to seal the peanut butter.
  10. 10
    Refrigerate for an additional 15-20 minutes until the top chocolate layer is completely hard.
  11. 11
    Peel away the paper liners and serve immediately, or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
