Homemade Peanut Butter Cups

TOTAL TIME: Prep: 20 min. + chilling YIELD: 3 dozen.
I like using pretty mini muffin liners and topping these homemade peanut butter cups with colored sprinkles to coordinate with the holiday we're celebrating. People can't believe how simple it is to make this irresistible candy with gooey peanut butter centers. This is how to make homemade peanut butter cups. —LaVonne Hegland, St. Michael, Minnesota

  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 cups semisweet chocolate chips
