Peanut butter cups

Ingredients:

(for the pastry)

• 250g butter
• 375g plain flour
• 1 egg
• 125g caster sugar

(for the fillings)

• crunchy peanut butter
• 200g milk chocolate

Pre-heat the oven on 200c

Method:

1. Put the butter, sugar and flour in a bowl and rub together with your hands until combined.
2. Add in the egg and mix together until it forms a dough.
3. Knead the dough a little and wrap it in clingfilm.
4. Place the dough in the fridge for 30 minutes.
5. Once the dough is chilled sprinkle some flour onto a clean work surface roll your dough out pretty thin, but the thickness is up to you.
6. Cut out circles for the cups, measure your cupcake tins and figure out how big the circles need to be.
7. Grease your cupcake trays and put the pastry circles into the cupcake trays.
8. To each one you want to add a good teaspoon of peanut butter.
9. Place the cupcake tray in your pre-heated oven for 12 minutes.
10. Once they are cooked, leave to cool.
11. When they are cooled, you want to melt some chocolate. Place a glass bowl over a pan of boiling water (make sure the water isn’t touching the bowl) and slowly melt your chocolate.
12. Pour the chocolate on top of each of the peanut butter cups.
13. Leave them to set (if you have self-control… I personally had to eat one while still gooey).
14. ENJOY!
