Fluffernutter Cups

 My husband LOVES Reese's peanut butter cups!!! Me, I'd rather have Reese's Pieces. I have thought about making peanut butter cups for awhile now, but was never supper motivated to. Then one day I saw a recipe for peanut butter cups with marshmallow fluff in them. I made them the very next day!

Oh my goodness, these are amazing!!! So much better than "normal" peanut butter cups. After trying one, I immediately ate another one and had to stop myself before eating a third. The creamy peanut butter, paired with the sweet marshmallow fluff all covered in pairs perfectly with the bitter dark chocolate.

Fluffernutter Cups

Ingredients:

• 12 ounces high quality dark chocolate
• 2 1/2 teaspoons vegetable shortening
• 1/4 cup creamy peanut butter
• 1/3 cup marshmallow fluff (about)

Directions:

1. Place 12 silicone muffins liners onto a baking sheet.
2. Add the chocolate chips and shortening to a medium bowl​ and heat in the microwave in 30 second intervals, stirring well after each interval until the chocolate is smooth.
3. Spoon a slightly heaping 1 tablespoon of melted chocolate into the bottom of each muffin liner. Using a pastry brush, brush the chocolate about 3/4 of the way up the side of the liners. Freeze for 10 minutes or until the chocolate is set.
4. Spread 1 teaspoon of peanut butter into the bottom of each liner. Place bake into the freezer for 10 minutes or until the peanut butter is set.
5. Spread a heaping 1 teaspoon of marshmallow fluff onto the peanut butter. The marshmallow fluff may not spread very well, but it will on its own. Freeze for 5 minutes.
6. Top each liner with the remaining chocolate, about 1-1 1/2 tablespoons, and smooth into an even layer as much as possible. Freeze for 30 minutes or until the chocolate is fully set.
7. Serve cold or at room temperature. Store in an airtight container, in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.

Enjoy!!!

Notes:

I used my silicone muffins liners, but you can use regular paper liners, just place 12 of them into a muffin tin and keep them in the muffin tin while you spread the chocolate up the sides to help maintain the shape of the liner.
