I have a son who is allergic to peanut butter. Before he became allergic he ENJOYED peanut butter cups. Hasn't had one in 6 years. So for Valentine's Day I decided to substitute soy butter for the peanut butter in this recipe and it turned out AWESOME!!! You really can't tell the difference and he got to enjoy a long lost treat. I did prepare the soy butter filling ahead but only added an extra 1/2c conf. sugar because the soy butter is a little dryer than peanut butter and didn't want filling to crumble. Think next time I will add some crushed up pretzels to this and enjoy 3 great tastes together :-) Excellent alternative for people allergic to peanuts!!!

<p>I know I already posted a review but have some other helpful hints. I used a teaspoon melon baller to scoop heaping spoon of melted chocolate into cups then a slightly smaller one for peanut butter then back to larger one for top chocolate. Also put your cups on a tray covered in foil or pretty paper then you can refrigerate and serve on same tray. I don't think it was messy at all and when I melted chocolate and peanut butter I put pb on bottom glass dish then Choc. Melted about 45 secs stirred then another 45 secs. Wonderful and Very Easy!</p>

Very good! I had no trouble melting the chocolate mixture in the microwave. I used half power and checked (and stirred!)every 30 - 45 seconds~~no problem. I did increase the powdered sugar to 1 cup and rolled the mixture out into 3 logs each 9 inches and them scored them every 3/4 inch and refrigerated them until firm. Then followed the directions for putting them together in the recipe putting the little "chucks" of peanut butter mixture in each cup instead of having to spoon it in. I was really impressed that this recipe worked out perfectly with the quantities given and made the 36 cups exactly. I'll use it again.

Made these last evening after receiving the e-mail. Took about an hour start to finish. Yummy, easy, & look fabulous! More delicious than Reeses! My Valentines will love them, just like I do!

I made these last night for V Day. They look great and the one I ate was delicious! I am glad the weather is cool as I am sure they have a low melting point. The piping bag suggestion for the filling was so helpful. I wonder if that would work with the chocolate also?

Everyone loved these! I did alter them slightly: instead of using 1/2 cup PB with the chocolate, I used 1 TBS oil. It made the chocolate very rich and creamy. I also needed extra powdered sugar to get the PB to hold together, and added a splash of vanilla as an afterthought. A great, basic and quick recipe that can be altered to fir your tastebuds!

very good but too messy to be practical. It does not set up well and must be refrigerated. I made them for Valentine gifts but can not include them on a tray. I will have to give them out separately- from my frige to theirs. I will not make again!

I am so disappointed in this recipe. When I went to melt the chocolate ingredients, it never melted, I tried mixing with an electric mixer, nothing, it turned out lumpy no matter what I did. I spent abougt $8.00 on ingredients I have to throw away. Maybe you should explain better the melting process of the chocolate.
