Dark Chocolate Peanut Butter Cups

Homemade peanut butter cups are a simple but fun, hands on dessert activity. Unlike Reese's, which have a mushy chocolate and a grainy center, these homemade peanut butter cups have a firm and snappy chocolate, with a filling that's runny and actually tastes like peanuts. Perfect for the Halloween season, this homemade candy is a tastier alternative!
