Ingredients

For the Chocolate Cups:

  • 2 cups milk chocolate chips

For the Peanut Butter Mousse:

For the Garnish

  • 1 chocolate bar shaved with a vegetable peeler to create curls

Instructions

For the Cups:

  • Line a mini cupcake pan with muffin liners. (Silicone liners works awesome, but paper works too.)
  • Melt the chocolate over a double boiler or in the microwave (in 30 second increments).
  • Using a teaspoon, scoop a spoonful of chocolate into each mini muffin liner.
  • Using the teaspoon or a clean finger, spread the chocolate to cover the entire liner.  If the chocolate is rough-looking and uneven, tap the muffin pan against the counter a few times.  If your chocolate becomes stiff or hard to work with, warm it for 15 more seconds in the microwave.
  • Repeat until chocolate is gone, about 24 cups.
  • Place in freezer for 15 minutes to harden.

For the Peanut Butter Mousse:

  • Add the peanut butter, cream cheese, milk, sugar and salt to a mixer bowl.  Thoroughly combine, and set aside.
  • Whip the cream and vanilla until stiff peaks form.
  • Fold the whipped cream into the peanut butter mixture (do half at a time so it's more manageable).
  • Pipe the peanut butter mixture into the chocolate cups & top with a chocolate curl.
  • Refrigerate until ready to serve.
