Treat Tuesday - Peanut Butter Cups 

*I ran across this recipe online and of course it caught my attention.

*We are going to give it a try this week.  Happy Valentine's Day!

*One of my most favorite treats is a peanut butter cup.  

*Normally I just buy the candy bar type from the store.

• 4-1/2 teaspoons butter, softened
• 1/2 cup confectioners' sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 2 cups (12 ounces) semisweet chocolate chips
• 4 milk chocolate candy bars (1.55 ounces each), coarsely chopped
• Colored sprinkles, optional

Directions...

• In a small bowl, combine 1/2 cup peanut butter, butter, confectioners' sugar and salt until smooth; set aside.
• In a microwave, melt the chocolate chips, candy bars and remaining peanut butter; stir until smooth.
• Drop teaspoonfuls of chocolate mixture into paper-lined miniature muffin cups.
• Top each with a scant teaspoonful of peanut butter mixture; top with another teaspoonful of chocolate mixture.
