Homemade chocolate candies with peanut butter filling topcook.tomathouse.com
Ingredients:
- 0.5 kg milk chocolate, chopped (about 2.5 cups)
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- 0.5 cup powdered sugar
- 1/4 cup saltine crackers, crushed (about 8)
- 2 tbsp (30 g) butter, softened
- A pinch of salt
Preparation:
- Melt the chocolate in a double boiler. Keep it warm over low heat until ready to assemble the candies.
- Place peanut butter, powdered sugar, crackers, butter and salt in a bowl and mix everything together with an electric mixer.
- Line 18 paper muffin cups with a metal muffin tin. Add 1 teaspoon of melted chocolate to the bottom of each paper cup. Using a teaspoon, spread the chocolate in a thin, even layer across the bottom of the cup, bringing it up the sides about a third of the way. Repeat with the remaining cups. Freeze the cup until the chocolate sets, about 5 minutes.
- Place 2 heaping teaspoons of peanut filling into a chocolate-coated mold (the filling should be below the level of the chocolate). Cover the peanut filling with another 2 teaspoons of melted chocolate, spreading it over the top so that the filling is hidden. Repeat with the remaining molds. Freeze for 10 minutes.
- Serve the candies chilled or at room temperature.
