Homemade Chocolate Peanut Butter Cups

How do you get the peanut butter in a peanut butter cup?

Actually it's rather easy!

Just spread melted chocolate into cupcake wrappers, refrigerate, then add a dollop of peanut butter and cover with melted chocolate. Voila, homemade chocolate peanut butter cups!

What a treat!

(I was thinking, these would be great to make with other nut butters as well... like almond butter perhaps...mmmmm!)
