Reese's Peanut Butter Cups
  1. In a food processor, crush the graham crackers until they are a fine dust.

  2. Combine peanut butter, powdered sugar and graham crackers using a hand mixer. The mixture should be soft but not sticky. A lot like Play-Doh! As long as you can easily roll it into a ball and it doesn't fall apart. If it's to crumbly, add more peanut butter. If it's too soft and sticky, add more powdered sugar.

  3. Use a tablespoon to scoop out some of the peanut butter mixture (about 15 - 18g worth). Roll it into a ball, and then flatten it into a patty that's slightly smaller than the bottom of your muffin liner. You can do this by hand, or you can add the ball to a parchment lined baking sheet. Then top it with a small piece of wax or parchment paper and press down with something flat and hard (I used a small glass bowl).

  4. Once all patties have been formed, add them to the freezer to firm up for about 20 minutes.

  5. To melt your chocolate you have two options. Use a double boiler, or get a saucepan and fill it with a couple inches of water. Next place a heat proof bowl on top of the saucepan, making sure the bottom of the bowl isn't touching the water.Add in the chocolate and then place on a stovetop over medium heat. Once the water begins to steam, whisk the chocolate until it melts. Once it's 90% melted, remove from the heat and continue whisking until it's totally melted.

  6. Drop in about a tablespoon of melted chocolate into a muffin liner. Place a peanut butter patty on top, and press down to ensure there's chocolate surrounding it. Then cover the patty with about 2-3 tsp of chocolate until it's totally covered. You can lightly tap the liner on the countertop to flatten out the chocolate.

  7. Refrigerate to firm up for about 15 - 20 minutes.
