REESE'S PEANUT BUTTER CUPS (COPYCAT)

Steps:

• In a small bowl, mix the salt, peanut butter and powdered sugar until firm.
• Melt the chocolate chips in a double boiler over hot, not boiling water (OR you can melt them in the microwave for about two minutes, stirring midway).
• Grease muffin-tin cups and spoon some chocolate into each, filling halfway.
• With the back of a spoon, draw the chocolate up the edges of each cup until all sides are coated.
• Cool in the refrigerator until firm.
• Spread about a teaspoon of peanut butter mixture onto the chocolate in each cup, leaving room for the final chocolate layer.
• Pour some chocolate (I imagine you will need to re-heat it) 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 pan when firm.

REESE'S PEANUT BUTTER CUP BARS

Steps:

• Mix butter, graham cracker crumbs, powdered sugar, and peanut butter. (an easy way to measure the peanut butter is to put 1 cup of water into a measuring cup, and then add enough peanut butter to it that the water reaches 2 cups).
• Press mixture into a 9x13" pan.
• Melt chocolate chips in microwave and stir until smooth (try a minute first, and then check).
• Spread chocolate carefully over peanut butter layer with a spatula. (Having one person to pour the chocolate and one to spread works well!).
• Let the chocolate cool for a while, and then cut into bars before the chocolate is completely hardened (or else the chocolate layer will just crack).
• (cooking time is cooling time, and it's a very rough estimate, I didn't keep track).
