Peanut butter cups

By jab120638

Ingredients

• The filling will make enough for about 20-24 cups. This depends on what size of cup you get and how full you make the center in each one.
• 1 bag of milk chocolate chips
• 1 cup of crackers, broken into small pieces (not smashed) You can use Saltines or Ritz. 1 cup of peanut butter, smooth
• 1 cup of powdered sugar
• 1 tsp. of vanilla
• Mini cupcake or candy wrappers

Preparation

Step 1

I used a Pyrex 2 cup glass measuring holder to melt the chocolate chips in the microwave. This is a slow process because you do not want to ruin the chocolate. I started with 1 cup of chips and in increments of 35 seconds (4X's) I heated and stirred the chocolate. The melted chocolate will help the others to melt when you stir in between each heating. If you have a double boiler and pref er to warm and melt your chocolate this way, please do so. I don't own one of those.
I put my crackers (GF Glutino Table Crackers) into a plastic back and broke them into small pieces. You want pieces and not crumbs. The crunch adds a lot to the filling.
In a bowl combine the peanut butter, powdered sugar, vanilla and broken crackers. Mix well.
