1. Cut the top half off of the muffin
cups so that they are shallower.
2. Pour the chocolate chips into a glass bowl and melt them in the
microwave: Microwave at 50% power for 2 minutes. Stir the chips gently,
and let them sit for a minute or so. If the chocolate needs more melting,
microwave those chippies again at half power for 30 seconds. Stir gently.
Continue the process, stirring gently as you go. But be very careful not
to overcook the chocolate or it'll seize up on you like day old Carolina
roof tar.
3. Using a teaspoon, spoon a portion of the chocolate into the middle of a
muffin cup. Draw the chocolate up the edges of the cup with the back of
the spoon. Coat the entire inside of the muffin cup with chocolate and
place it into a muffin tin. Repeat with the remaining muffin cups and then
put the whole muffin tin in the fridge so that the chocolate hardens.
4. Combine the reduced-fat peanut butter, powdered sugar and salt in a
medium bowl.
5. When the chocolate in the muffin cups has hardened, pop the sweetened
peanut butter into the microwave oven on full power for 1 minute. This
will soften up the peanut butter so that it easily flows into the cups.
6. Spoon a small portion of peanut butter into each of the
chocolate-coated cups. Leave room at the top for an additional layer of
chocolate, which we'll add later. Pop the candy back in the refrigerator
to harden the peanut butter. This should take an hour or so.
7. When the peanut butter filling has hardened, re-melt the chocolate
chips in the microwave on half power for 30 to 60 seconds. Use a teaspoon
to spread a layer of chocolate over the top of each candy. Chill the candy
once again to set up the chocolate.
