Homemade Reeses Cups

Hold on now, this recipe is about to blow your socks off!  I whipped these babies up yesterday and oh wow....they are SO amazing!  Not good for the waistline at all, but definitely worth the bite anyway :)  How can you go wrong with peanut butter and chocolate?  Two of a girls best friends :) Give the recipe a try and tell me what you think!

What I used:
1 cup creamy peanut butter, divided
4 1/2 tbsp. butter, softned
1/2 cup powdered sugar (you can add a little more if the mixture doesn't taste sweet enough for you)
1 bag semi-sweet chocolate chips
1 Hershey's bar, chopped
4 squares of almond bark

Take 1/2 cup of peanut butter and mix in a bowl with butter and powdered sugar.  Mix until smooth and set bowl aside. 
Take the remaining 1/2 cup of peanut butter and all of the chocolate and in a microwave safe bowl, melt.  Your chocolate and peanut butter mixture should be very creamy. 
Take out a muffin tin and line with cupcake liners.  Take a tiny bit of chocolate mixture and pour into the bottom of liners.  Top with a small amount of peanut butter mixture and cover with chocolate mixture.  Your reeses' should only fill the liner 1/2 way if that.  Continue to fill the rest of tin up until your muffin tin is full.  Place in the fridge to set or in the freezer to do a quick set.  Store in an air tight container and keep in the fridge until ready to serve.  These will melt in your hand if eaten too slowly but they are definitely finger-lickin' good :)
From my kitchen to yours, ENJOY!
