Peanut Butter Cups

(as found in Rachel Ray magazine)

8 oz milk chocolate, chopped (I used dark chocolate)

4 T. unsalted butter at room temp.

3/4 c. natural peanut butter (I used Jiff creamy but next time I will try with homemade peanut butter)

1/2 c. honey

1. Place 12- 2 1/2 in baking liners on a baking sheet (I used silicone cupcake holders). In a double boiler, melt the chocolate. Reserve the pot of hot water to keep the chocolate liquid , as necessary.

2. Place about 2 t. of the melted chocolate in a baking cup, swirling to coat about halfway up the side of the cup. Repeat with the remaining cups. Refrigerate until set.

3. Using an electric mixer, beat the butter until fluffy, about 2 min. Beat in the peanut butter and honey. Transfer the mixture to a resealable plastic bag and snip off one corner.

4. Fill the chocolate cups about 3/4 full with the peanut butter mixture, smoothing the surface. Refrigerate for 15 min.

5. Top each peanut butter cup with melted chocolate to enclose, smoothing the surface. refrigerate until hardened. To serve, remove the candies from the baking liners.
