Homemade Reeses Peanut Butter Cups



2 cups semi sweet chocolate chips
2-4 drops of vegetable oil
1/2 cup peanut butter
About a cup of powdered sugar. ( the amounts are estimated, I didn't actually measure anything)
Candy Molds.


Spay molds with oil.




Melt chocolate in a zip lock sandwich baggie.  Fill the baggie with about a cup of chips, drizzle a cpl of drops of oil, to keep them from being tooth breaking hard! Put the bag in a wide flat bowl, do not seal bag.   Microwave 20 seconds at a time until melted.  I like to knead the bag in between nukes.  Helps the chocolate become smooth, without lumps.  When its melted, seal bag and snip off one corner. Use like a pastry bag and fill bottom half of candy molds. Shake the molds gently to distribute evenly.  Put in freezer until set.






Take peanut butter and add the powder sugar. Beat until well mixed. The more sugar u add, the thicker it gets. seems easier to handle when its thick.

press in some peanut mixture on the chocolate.......... be sure not to go all the way to the edge so the next layer of chocolate can cover the peanut butter. Place in fridge.






Nuke more chocolate. Use a new sandwich bag if needed.   Take chocolate peanut butter molds out of the fridge and pipe in another layer of chocolate. Shake molds gently to distribute.  Return to freezer until chocolate sets.




  YUM!
