Choco PB Cups



A while back Chris and I went to Harrison Street Coffee shop and Chris had a homemade peanut butter cup. I tried a little and it was so good. It got me thinking that I could make some at home. I made the peanut better cookie recipe from Vive Le Vegan!. I then portioned the batter into muffin cups using a small cookie scoop and pressed it into the corners. I baked the cookies at 375° for about 15 minutes. While the peanut butter part was cooling, I melted 1 cup of chocolate chips in the microwave until I had a creamy consistancy. Adding the melted chocolate to the top of the peanut butter was a little tricky. I added about 2 tsp of chocolate per cookie and then spread it around with a knife. I put the peanut butter cups in the freezer for about 10 minutes to set the chocolate and they were ready for Chris to devour. Yummy! Yummy!

OK urban vegan but you better hurry - there's only a few left and I'm going through them rather quickly. Maybe we'll make some more and bring them up next time we visit my aunt in Wilmington.
