Note: This looked so much better before I nuked my account over at Buzznet. If I can find the pictures and I remember, I’ll fix the post.
The beautiful and talented Amalah posted a recipe and how-to-make for peanut butter cups, so I thought I’d try my hand.
First, I assembled my ingredients:
milk chocolate chips, powdered sugar, peanut butter, paper cup things, beer, and of course Amalah’s recipe smackdown.

First I open a beer.
Then, I carefully melted the chocolate in the bowl in the microwave. 50% power, stirring, blah blah blah.
Putting the chocolate into the cup things (which I cut off so they weren’t as tall). I couldn’t find my muffin pan to hold them, so after pondering on WWAD (What would Amalah do) I decided that a Glad plastic pan was as good as anything. They’re just going to sit in the fridge.

While the chocolate cools in the fridge, I make the peanut butter. This is one cup of peanut butter with a half cup of powdered sugar stirred in. Note the joy of unexpected cheese.
After putting peanut butter in (singing “Braniac” the whole time), ready to go back to the fridge.
All set to put the top layer of chocolate on. Note the muffin pan has finished it’s walkabout but is too late to be useful in this batch. Slacker.
All finished! Time to finish beer and maybe surf blogs while they chill.
