White Chocolate Peanut Butter Cups

Steps

• 1

  Begin by gathering your ingredients.

  
• 2

  Line a mini muffin tin with mini cupcake wrappers.

  
• 3

  Place the peanut butter in a microwave-safe bowl and microwave for 30 seconds. Stir and continue to heat in 30 second intervals until melted completely.

  
• 4

  Sift the powdered sugar into the bowl of peanut butter. Mix the peanut butter and sifted powdered sugar together until thoroughly combined.

  
• 5

  Using a teaspoon, measure out the peanut butter filling into 20 equal portions and roll into 20 balls. Gently press down on the peanut butter balls to flatten them.

  
• 6

  Microwave the white chocolate chips for 30 seconds. Stir and continue to heat in 15 second intervals until the white chocolate is smooth. (Note: Make sure your bowl and spoon are completely dry. Any wetness will cause the chocolate to seize.) Fill each mini cupcake wrapper with 1 teaspoon of melted white chocolate.

  
• 7

  Place the peanut butter ball on top of the chocolate. Top with 2 additional teaspoons of melted white chocolate.

  
• 8

  Immediately sprinkle red, white and blue jimmies on top. Place in the refrigerator for 30 minutes to set.
