Melt chocolate in a bowl set over a small pot of simmering water.
Using a pastry brush or new paintbrush paint chocolate onto the inside of the muffin cups.
Place them in a muffin tin for easier handling.
Paint a thick layer and then refrigerate until it has set hard.
Puree the peanut butter, cream cheese, sugar and vanilla in a food processor until smooth.
Spoon or pipe into the hardened chocolate cups and then pour a thick layer of the remaining melted chocolate over the top making sure the edges are sealed.
Put back in fridge until the tops have set.
Peel liners off before serving
