12 oz Chocolate Chips (milk, semi-sweet, white or dark chocolate) adds sweetness and richness

½ cup peanut butter (creamy or crunchy) provides smooth texture and nutty flavor
¼ cup confectioner's sugar sweetens and helps bind
2 teaspoons butter adds richness and improves texture

Begin by placing the chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl. Melt the chocolate gently in the microwave, stirring every 30 seconds until smooth.
Prepare a mini muffin tin by lining it with paper liners.
Pour a small amount of melted chocolate into each muffin liner, enough to cover the bottom.
Place the muffin tin in the freezer for about 10 minutes until the chocolate is set hard.
Mix the peanut butter, confectioner's sugar, and butter in a bowl until well combined and smooth.
Remove the muffin tin from the freezer, spoon a small amount of the peanut butter mixture on top of the set chocolate.
Pour the remaining melted chocolate over the peanut butter layer, covering it completely.
Return the muffin tin to the freezer for another 15-20 minutes until the tops are set.
Carefully remove the peanut butter cups from the muffin tin by lifting out the paper liners.
Let the peanut butter cups come to room temperature for about 10 minutes before serving.

For best results, do not overheat the chocolate and ensure the peanut butter filling is creamy. Store in an airtight container.
