Recipe summary

Ease of Preparation: Easy A recipe is merely words on paper; a guideline, a starting point from which to improvise. It cannot pretend to replace the practiced hand and telling glance of a watchful cook. For that reason feel free to stir your own ideas into this dish. When you cook it once, it becomes yours, so personalize it a bit. Add more of an ingredient you like or less of something you don't like. Try substituting one ingredient for another. Remember words have no flavour, you have to add your own!

Cooking time:
Yield: 4

Ingredients

8 ounces of 70% bittersweet chocolate, cut into small pieces
1/2 cup peanut butter
1/2 cup cream cheese
1 tablespoon sugar
1 tablespoon vanilla
4 paper or foil muffin cup liners

Directions

Melt chocolate in a bowl set over a small pot of simmering water.
Using a pastry brush or new paintbrush paint chocolate onto the inside of the muffin cups.
Place them in a muffin tin for easier handling.
Paint a thick layer and then refrigerate until it has set hard.
Puree the peanut butter, cream cheese, sugar and vanilla in a food processor until smooth.
Spoon or pipe into the hardened chocolate cups and then pour a thick layer of the remaining melted chocolate over the top making sure the edges are sealed.
Put back in fridge until the tops have set.
Peel liners off before serving.
