Serves: 12
Prep Time: 15 minutes Cooking Time: 1 hour Total Time: 1 hour 15 minutes

Ingredients

  • 2 (11.5 ounce) packages of milk chocolate chips, divided
  • 1 cup peanut butter
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup confectioners’ sugar
  • 1 tsp of vanilla
  • 1 tbsp of vegetable oil
  • 2 whole gram crackers (1/4 cup crushed)

Instructions

1

Grease mini muffin tray with some vegetable oil.  I used a paper towel and wiped the cups in a thin layer.

2

Place 1 bag (11.5 oz) of chocolate chips in a microwave safe container, with 1 tbsp of vegetable oil. Microwave for 2 minutes, stirring after each minute. Spoon melted chocolate into muffin cups, filling halfway. With a spoon, draw the chocolate up the sides of the cups until evenly coated. Cool in the refrigerator until firm, takes about a 30 min.

3

In a small bowl, mix together peanut butter, confectioners’ sugar, salt, vanilla, and 1/4 cup of crushed gram crackers.  Divide into the chocolate cups.

4

Melt the remaining chocolate, if you do not have any left over, use some from the 2nd bag, and spoon over peanut butter. Spread chocolate to edges of cups.

5

Place the tray in the fridge until the cups are firmed through.

I would like to give credit to a few websites and their reviewers with whom I combined some of the recipes, reviews, and comments in order to make this creation the best thing ever: AllRecipes.com, TasteOfHome.com, and FoodNetwork.com, and their reviewers.
