1
Watch how to make this recipe
2
Have 2 mini-muffin pans, a can of non-stick spray, a pastry brush, and a package of paper/foil candy cups out and ready; clear some space in the freezer
3
Slowly melt the chocolate in a double boiler over hot water or in a microwave set on high for 2 minutes, stirring halfway through the heating time to smooth it out
4
Dot a bit of chocolate in the center of each muffin cup and press a candy wrapper in the molds so it sticks in place
5
Lightly spray the insides of the wrappers with a little non-stick cooking spray
6
Brush about a tablespoon of the melted chocolate into the paper liners, pulling it up the insides of the wrapper so it's all coated
7
Stick the chocolate cups in the freezer to harden while making the peanut butter filling
8
Keep the remaining melted chocolate warm so it stays smooth; we'll need it again in a few minutes
9
Combine the peanut butter, warm water, and honey in a mixing bowl, blend with a whisk until smooth and thinned out a bit
10
Using a rubber spatula, fold the whipped cream into the peanut butter mixture to make a light mousse — don't overdo it, it's ok if there are streaks of cream in the filling
11
Spoon the peanut butter mousse into a pastry bag filled with a large plain tip
12
Take the chocolate cups out; they should be pretty solid by now, and pipe the peanut butter mousse into the centers, leaving room for a cap of chocolate
13
Freeze again for a few minutes just so the mousse sets up a bit
14
Spoon more melted chocolate on top to cover the peanut butter and fill the cup to the top; spreading evenly with a knife so it's smooth and level
15
Sprinkle a little chopped peanuts on top and stick the peanut butter cups in the freezer to set up for 15 to 20 minutes
16
Invert the muffin pans on a cutting board to pop out the peanut butter cups
