REESE'S PEANUT BUTTER CUPS
Steps:
- In a small bowl, mix the peanut butter, salt and powdered sugar until firm. Slowly melt the chocolate chips in a double boiler over hot, not boiling, water. You may also melt them in a microwave oven set on high for 2 minutes, stirring halfway through the heating time. Grease the muffin tin cups and spoon some chocolate into each cup, filling halfway. With a spoon, draw the chocolate up the edges of each cup until all sides are coated. Cool in the refrigerator until firm. Spread some of the peanut butter onto the chocolate in each cup, leaving room for the final chocolate layer. Cool the cups again to firm up the peanut butter. Pour some chocolate onto the top of each candy and spread it to the edges. Let sit at room temperature, or covered in the refrigerator. Turn out of the pan when firm.

Steps:

- Melt chocolate chips and about 1/4 of 1 bar of grated paraffin together in microwave for 1 minute at 70% power. Stir. Continue microwaving at 70% power until completely melted making sure to check every 20 to 30 seconds. Dip balls into chocolate mixture. Place on wax paper to cool. Keep in fridge in covered container.
- Enjoy!
- Optional - Drizzle second type of chocolate on top for decorative effect.
Tips:
- Use high-quality chocolate for the best flavor. A semisweet or bittersweet chocolate with a cocoa content of at least 60% is ideal.
- Make sure the cream cheese is softened to room temperature before mixing it with the other ingredients. This will help to ensure a smooth and creamy texture.
- Chill the truffles for at least 30 minutes before coating them in chocolate. This will help them to set and hold their shape.
- If you don't have a candy thermometer, you can check the temperature of the chocolate by dropping a small amount into a glass of cold water. If the chocolate hardens immediately, it is ready to use.
- Be careful not to overheat the chocolate, as this can cause it to seize and become unusable.
- If you are having trouble dipping the truffles in chocolate, you can use a fork to help you. Just dip the fork in the chocolate and then use it to pick up the truffle. Gently lower the truffle into the chocolate and then remove it with the fork.
- Store the truffles in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
