Tips:

- Use fresh peanut butter for the best flavor and texture. - If you don't have a candy thermometer, you can test the readiness of the candy by dropping a small amount into a glass of cold water. If it forms a soft ball, it is ready. - Be careful not to overcook the candy, or it will become hard and brittle. - If you want a chewier candy, add a little corn syrup to the mixture. - For a more intense peanut butter flavor, use dark chocolate instead of milk chocolate. - If you want to make peanut butter cups, use a muffin tin lined with paper liners. Pour the melted chocolate into the liners, then top with the peanut butter mixture. Chill until firm. - Store the candy in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks.
