Homemade Reese's peanut butter cups

Julian has been dipping pieces of chocolate in peanut butter, usually after 8pm, and having nostalgic thoughts about childhood and Reese's peanut butter cups (unavailable here, in Poland). So one day, I wanted to be nice and I made the cups for him...

Recipe by Gray Apron
time: 20 min preparation + 2 hrs inactive
makes 9 cups

 ingredients 

170 g (6 oz) milk chocolate, broken in pieces
50 g (4 Tablespoons) butter, diced
50 g (2 oz) dark chocolate (50 % cocoa), broken in pieces
135 g (9 Tablespoons) peanut butter

 instructions 
Melt chocolates with butter over hot water (never boiling). Pour 1 Tablespoon of chocolate mix in each forms. Tilt the cups around a bit to create a border (1/2 - 1cm, 1/8 - 1/2 inch high). 

Set them in the fridge for about 1 hour till firm. Spread 1 Tablespoon of peanut butter on top of cooled chocolate  mix. 

Pour 1 Tablespoon of chocolate mix (reheated if necessary) to close the cups. Set them again in the fridge for another hour.

Flip the silicon form inside out and grab your peanut butter cup;
You can keep your homemade Reese's in or out of the fridge.

NOTES NOTES NOTES NOTES NOTES NOTES NOTES NOTES NOTES 

• silicon forms work like magic in getting your cups out nice and easy;
• I bought the forms with baking in mind...used them once; still weird to put plastic in the oven;
• you can adjust ratio of chocolates and butters to your taste;
• milk chocolate and butter together tasted...weak, so I added dark chocolate for more flavor;
• the cups came out fantastic; Julian was in shock;
• OK, I admit...it did all happen around the Valentine's Day.
