PEANUT BUTTER CAROB CUPS

Steps:

Microwave, stirring every 30 seconds, until carob is melted and smooth, about 1 minute longer. Carob should not exceed 90°. Spoon teaspoons of carob mixture into silicone molds or foil-lined mini muffin cups; press spoon into center of each cup so mixture coats the sides of liners about halfway up.

Spoon teaspoons of mixture over set peanut butter mixture. Freeze until set. Store in refrigerator.

HOMEMADE PEANUT BUTTER CUPS

Steps:

• Melt the chocolate in the top of a double boiler. Keep the chocolate warm over low heat until you are ready to start assembling the peanut butter cups.
• Combine the peanut butter, confectioners' sugar, saltines, butter and salt in a bowl and blend with an electric mixer until well combined
• Prepare a muffin pan with 18 paper muffin liners. Add 1 teaspoon melted chocolate to the bottom of a muffin liner. Using the teaspoon, spread the chocolate in a thin, even layer on the bottom and a third of the way up the side. Repeat with the remaining liners. Place the muffin pan in the freezer until the chocolate is set and hardened, about 5 minutes.
• Spread 2 heaping teaspoons of the peanut butter filling in the bottom of a chocolate-coated muffin liner (it should come to below the chocolate line). Top the peanut butter filling with 2 more teaspoons of melted chocolate, spreading it over the top so no filling is visible. Repeat with the remaining liners. Freeze for 10 minutes.
• Serve chilled or at room temperature.

PEANUT BUTTER CUPS

Steps:

• To temper the chocolate: Chop the chocolate in to small pieces and place in a bowl over barely simmering water to melt. Bring the chocolate up to 113 degrees F. Turn off the heat, remove the bowl from the simmering water, and let cool, stirring until it reaches 82 to 86 degrees F. It will begin to set a little around the edges at this point. Return the bowl to the hot (now turned off) water for a few seconds at a time, until it reaches 88 to 91 degrees F. Do not let it go over 91 degrees or it will go out of temper.
• Pour melted milk chocolate in a candy mold with individual fluted cups to coat the insides. Pour the excess chocolate back into the bowl and let set or chill to set.
• Meanwhile, mix the peanut butter with the confectioners¿ sugar. Using a small spoon or pastry bag with a large plain tip fill each chocolate cup with the peanut butter filling leaving room for a chocolate seal and chill slightly.
• Using a paper cone or pastry bag filled with melted milk chocolate, fill in the surface of the cups to enclose the filling with chocolate. Let set, then turn out of the mold.

LOW CARB PEANUT BUTTER CUPS

Steps:

• Heat butter, chocolate, and Splenda on HIGH in the microwave until the mixture is melted (about 60 to 90 seconds-do not boil).
• Stir the half & half or cream and the peanut butter into the melted mixture.
• Line 10 muffin tins with cupcake papers.
• Place a sprinkle of nuts in bottoms of each tin.
• Divide chocolate mixture evenly between the 10 tins. Freeze until firm.

LOW CARB PEANUT BUTTER CUPS

Steps:

• Heat cream and the rest of ingredients. Turn off heat and add chocolate. If you're melting it in the cream, let stand until chocolate is melted - stir once in awhile. When it is all melted, the mixture will be fairly thick. Adjust sweetener to taste.
• While the cream is heating and chocolate melting, mix up the filling. If it's too sticky, put a little more almond flour or erythritol into it. You want to be able to form it easily without getting it all over your hands. Adjust sweetness (and possibly salt level) to taste.
• Put heaping tablespoons or globs of the chocolate the size of a walnut into the mini muffin tin. If it is thick enough you can sort of push out a place in the center and make the chocolate even around the sides. If it isn't yet thick enough for this, don't worry, the peanut butter will push it up the sides.
• Form the peanut butter into smaller globs/balls. Push them into the chocolate, including pushing the top so it's flat.
• Chill the whole thing in the refrigerator for half an hour or so.
• Remove from fridge and run hot water over the bottom of the pan for just a few seconds.
• Take a thin knife (I use plastic) and insert it at the edge of a cup. You should be able to turn the whole thing a bit - then you know you can easily pop it out. If it doesn't work right away, give it a few seconds so that the heat can penetrate, or it may need another shot of heat.
