This is no Reese's!

It's summer and it's hot! Every time I step in the kitchen I secretly dread turning on that oven. But as usual, I was craving something sweet, so I thought, why not use the freezer? Yep, it is possible to create a decadent, sinful, delicious dessert with the help of just your freezer. How do dark chocolate (full of antioxidants and can lower blood pressure) peanut butter cups sound? Delicious, right!? These have you leaving the kitchen cool as can be and asking the question, "What's a Reese's?".

Dark Chocolate Peanut Butter Cups

Makes 12-15 mini peanut butter cups

12 oz. any kind of chocolate you like (I prefer dark chocolate)

1/3 cup of creamy peanut butter (try crunchy for a twist)

1/4 cup crushed graham crackers

1/4 cup confectioners' sugar

Melt the chocolate in a pan over low heat being sure to continuously stir until all of the chocolate is melted. Place mini cupcake liners in a mini muffin pan. Using a pastry brush, brush the melted chocolate on the bottom and sides of the mini cupcake liners. Be sure that there is a good coating, as this will be the base of the candy. Place the muffin pan in the freezer for 5-10 minutes until the chocolate sets.

While the chocolate is setting, mix the peanut butter, confectioners' sugar, and crushed (very fine) graham crackers in a bowl.

Remove the muffin pan from the freezer and place about a teaspoonful of the peanut butter mix into each cup. Press down on the peanut butter mix, so that it spreads a bit. With a spoon, pour more melted chocolate on the top of each cup, so that you can no longer see the peanut butter mixture.

Place back into the freezer for 20 minutes to set, and then remove to enjoy some decadence in a tiny little package!

Suggestion: This is no Reese's! Be creative and try different combinations of ingredients. White chocolate with a raspberry peanut butter filling, dark chocolate pecan, or whatever you seem to be craving. Have fun with it!
