Making the Chocolate Peanut Butter Meltaways;

I wish that I could say that I created this recipe, but in all honesty, I adapted it from the Taste of Home recipe.

I started with only four ingredients which I added to a microwave-safe bowl: White chocolate chips, semi-sweet chocolate chips, creamy peanut butter, and a bit of solid shortening.

Then, I covered the bowl, and microwaved the ingredients on high for 1 minute and 30 seconds. After giving the mixture a good stir, I returned it uncovered to the microwave for another 30 seconds on high.

Next, I transferred the mixture to a piping bag fitted with a round tip. I had to be careful here because the mixture was quite liquidy. Previously, I had lined a mini-muffin pan with paper baking cups, so I piped the mixture into each of the cups.

Because I was making the candy for gifts, I topped each one with a holiday icing decoration. I popped the candy in the refrigerator to harden.

The Chocolate Peanut Butter Meltaways were incredible. They were rich and creamy, with the perfect blend of chocolate and peanut butter. Yum!

    Thanks! I was amazed at how good and creamy they were. The taste was almost like a Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup, but even better!
