Equipment

silicone muffin liners or pan

Ingredients

¾ cup confectioner’s sugar
¾ cup peanut butter - creamy
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3 cups white chocolate bark or candy melts - grated if using bark
2 tablespoons vegetable oil

Instructions

Combine the sugar, peanut butter, and vanilla in a mixing bowl, mixing until a dough forms. Chill in the refrigerator while you melt the chocolate.
In a microwave-safe bowl, add the white chocolate bark and oil. Microwave for 45 seconds. Remove and mix. If clumpy and not smooth, microwave in 15-second intervals while mixing between melting. Mix until smooth.
In silicone muffin liners, add 1 tablespoon of the melted chocolate. Tilt liners to coat the sides up the wall of the liner.
Remove the peanut filling and separate it into 10 balls. Flatten the balls into pucks and place them in the muffin liner on top of the chocolate.
Top each cup with the remaining melted chocolate and tap the pan to smooth out the top. Make sure cups are level and peanut butter is covered.
Set aside to allow the chocolate to harden. Place in the refrigerator to speed the process up.
Remove cups from the liners and enjoy.

Notes

Note - it is best to melt the chocolate slowly at 50% power as white chocolate will seize easily and you will have to start over. Once it gets too hot, it will not melt.
