PEANUT BUTTER CUP COOKIES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Spray a 12-cup muffin tin with cooking spray.
• Beat the peanut butter, granulated sugar, light brown sugar and salt in a large bowl with an electric mixer on medium-high speed until light and fluffy, about 5 minutes. Beat in the vanilla and egg on high until the dough comes together in a mass.
• Pour some sanding sugar in a small bowl. Form the dough into 12 balls and roll to coat in the sugar. Put a dough ball in each muffin cup. Press the dough about 1/2 inch up the sides to make a shell. Fit a peanut butter cup into each dough shell. Bake until the edges of the cookies are set and golden, 10 to 12 minutes. Remove the tin to a cooling rack, then immediately top the peanut butter cups with a sprinkling of the peanuts. Cool 15 minutes, then remove the cookies to the wire rack to cool completely.

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.

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.

PEANUT BUTTER COOKIE CUPS

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 190C/170C fan/gas 5. Tip the butter, sugars and vanilla into a bowl and beat with an electric whisk until pale and fluffy. Beat in the egg. Add the flour, bicarb and a pinch of salt, and mix everything together with a spatula.
• Break off golf-ball-sized lumps of dough (about 65g each) and press into the holes of a 12-hole muffin tin, ensuring it comes up the sides - if you're using a deep muffin tin, the dough should come about halfway up the side of each hole. Bake for 15 mins until golden. The dough will sink as it bakes, so leave until cool enough to handle, then press it up the sides of the holes again. Leave to cool completely.
• Break the chocolate into a heatproof bowl and melt until smooth in the microwave in 20-second bursts, or set over a pan of barely simmering water ensuring the bowl doesn't touch the water. Remove the cookie cups from the tin (you may need a cutlery knife to help you do this). Spoon 1 tsp nut butter into the centre of each, then cover with the melted chocolate. Leave to cool until the chocolate sets, about 1 hr. Will keep in an airtight container for up to five days.
