La Kitchenette Souris: Mini Peanut Butter Cups

A Christmas favorite in our house ~ let me warn you, these are very dangerous! 

Especially when they are warm!

Once you have made these & tasted them, I promise you, they will be made again & likely become a tradition in your home too. 

They are a lot easier than they look so perfect for a novice chef.

Mini Peanut Butter Cups

1/2 cup butter or margarine, softened

1/2 cup smooth peanut butter, softened

1/2 cup brown sugar

1/2 cup sugar

1 egg

1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 1/2 cups all purpose flour

1 teaspoon baking soda

1 1/2 cups mini chocolate chips (semi sweet)

Preheat over to 375F.

Beat butter, peanut butter & both sugars until light & fluffy.

Add egg & vanilla, mixing well.

Combine flour & baking soda; add to butter mixture, mixing well.

Roll into 1 inch balls.

Place in lightly greased miniature muffin pans.

Press thumb into center of each one, to create a small indent, sort of like a little hollow.

Bake for 12-14 minutes.

Remove from oven & immediately place 1 teaspoon of chocolate chips in center of each cup.

Allow to cool slightly & remove from muffin pans. 

Makes: 42 cups.
