CHOCOLATE-PEANUT BUTTER CUPS

Provided by Nigella Lawson : Food Network

Categories     dessert

Time 1h

Yield 48 chocolate peanut butter cups

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 ounces (50 grams) soft dark brown sugar
7 ounces (200 grams) icing sugar
2 ounces (50 grams) butter, softened
7 ounces (200 grams) smooth peanut butter
7 ounces (200 grams) milk chocolate
3 1/2 ounces (100 grams) dark chocolate
Gold buttons and edible gold stars to decorate, or other decorations of your choice

Steps:

  • Place all the ingredients for the base in the bowl of a food processor. Blend the mixture until the mixture takes on a sandy texture.
  • Place 48 gold petit four cases in sets of miniature tart tins or mini-muffin tins (each indent about 1 3/4-inches in diameter). Use 1 teaspoon of the base mixture to fill the bases of the petit four cases. Press the sandy mixture down into the cases as best you can to form a layer at the bottom of each paper case.
  • Place the milk chocolate and dark chocolate together into a heatproof bowl. Suspend the bowl over a pan of simmering water (the water should not touch the bottom of the bowl). Melt the chocolate gently while stirring. Spoon teaspoonfuls of the melted chocolate onto the top of each of the sandy bases of the petit four cases.
  • Decorate the tops of the chocolate covered peanut butter cups with either a gold button or gold star in the middle of each and transfer them to the fridge. Let them set in the fridge, for about 30 minutes.
  • To serve, arrange the chocolate peanut butter cups in their cases on a clean plate.

CHOCOLATE PEANUT BUTTER CUPS



Chocolate Peanut Butter Cups image

Peanut butter cups are a classic candy and for good reason! Salty, nutty peanut butter and rich, smooth chocolate are the perfect match.

Provided by Elizabeth LaBau

Categories     Cookies and Candy

Time 2h12m

Number Of Ingredients 4

12 ounces chocolate (chopped, or chocolate candy coating)
1 cup peanut butter (smooth)
1/2 cup sugar (powdered, sifted)
1/4 teaspoon salt

Steps:

  • Gather the ingredients.
  • First, prepare the chocolate cups . You should either temper your chocolate or use chocolate-flavored candy coating. While you can simply melt regular chocolate and use that, I don't recommend it, because untempered chocolate gets soft at warm temperatures and often develops white or gray streaks as it cools. So begin by tempering your chocolate by following these directions or melting your candy coating.
  • Fill your cups with a small spoonful of melted chocolate, then use the paintbrush to paint the chocolate up the sides of the cup to the top. Try to create an even layer, and inspect the cups as you finish them to make sure there are no weak, streaky areas. Once all of the cups have been lined with chocolate, set aside the remaining chocolate for later and let the cups sit at room temperature or in the refrigerator until they have hardened.
  • While the cups are setting, prepare the filling. Combine the peanut butter, confectioners' sugar, and salt in a bowl and stir them together until they're well-mixed.
  • When the cups are set and the filling is made, use a teaspoon or small candy scoop to drop balls of filling into the chocolate cups. Pat them down gently so they don't mound up over the top of the cup. Fill them until they are almost full, but leave space at the top to cover it with chocolate.
  • If the chocolate has hardened, re-warm it until it is fluid once more. Spoon the chocolate over the cup and spread it to the edges, letting it flow over the top and sealing the peanut butter in the cup. Gently tap the cup against the counter to smooth out the top.
  • Refrigerate the peanut butter cups to set the chocolate, for about 20 minutes.
  • After the chocolate has set, your peanut butter cups are ready to be enjoyed!

CHOCOLATE PEANUT BUTTER CUPS



Chocolate Peanut Butter Cups image

These chocolate peanut butter cups are dangerously simple to make, with just a few ingredients that you probably have in the pantry right now. They come together faster than a trip to the convenience store. And they are completely customizable. Once you've gotten your fill of the standard peanut butter cup, try honey-sweetened cashew butter cups. Or cinnamon-spiked almond butter cups. Drizzle the finished cups with a bit of white or milk chocolate, some flaky sea salt or a sprinkle of finely chopped nuts for an upgraded presentation. Or sneak a tiny dollop of raspberry jam underneath the peanut butter layer for another delightfully classic pairing. The possibilities are endless.

Categories     candies, dessert

Time 50m

Yield 18 cups

Number Of Ingredients 5

9 ounces/255 grams semisweet chocolate
3/4 cup/205 grams smooth natural peanut butter
1/4 cup/28 grams confectioners' sugar
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt

Steps:

  • Set 18 mini paper baking cups on a baking sheet. Melt 4 ounces of the chocolate either over a double boiler on the stove top or in short bursts in the microwave. Spoon 1 teaspoon of melted chocolate into each cup. Use an offset spatula or a small spoon to spread the chocolate slightly up the sides of each baking cup; make sure you have an even chocolate base at the bottom of each cup. Let cool at room temperature for about 15 to 20 minutes until mostly solid.
  • Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, stir together peanut butter, confectioners' sugar, vanilla extract and salt. (Make sure the peanut butter is well-combined in the jar before you measure it.) Transfer the peanut butter mixture to a resealable plastic bag and seal it tightly.
  • Cut one corner of the plastic bag and pipe 2 to 3 teaspoons of peanut butter mixture into the center of each cup. With a very lightly moistened finger, tamp down the peanut butter and make it flat and even, but leave a bit of space between the peanut butter and the edge of the paper cup (you should be able to see a ring of chocolate peeking from below the peanut butter).
  • Melt the remaining 5 ounces of chocolate. Spoon 1 teaspoon of chocolate onto the top of each cup. Use an offset spatula or a small spoon to spread the chocolate evenly over the top and down the sides of the cup. Refrigerate until solid, about 30 minutes.
