Preparation

Step 1

Directions:

Place twelve 2 1/2-inch baking liners
on a baking sheet. In a double boiler,
melt the chocolate. Reserve the pot
of hot water to keep the chocolate
liquid, as necessary.

Place about 2 teaspoons of the
melted chocolate in a baking cup,
swirling to coat about halfway up
the side of the cup. Repeat with the
remaining cups. Refrigerate until set.

Using an electric mixer, beat the
butter until fluffy, about 2 minutes.
Beat in the peanut butter and honey.
Transfer the mixture to a resealable
plastic bag and snip off one corner.

Fill the chocolate cups about
three-quarters full with the peanut
butter mixture, smoothing the
surface. Refrigerate for 15 minutes.

Top each peanut butter cup
with melted chocolate to enclose,
smoothing the surface. Refrigerate
until hardened. To serve, remove the
candies from the baking liners.
