i learned how to make these in a cooking class when i was nine. you are forgetting i major component - powdered sugar. you need it to bind the peanut butter so it doesn't get melty and gooey. here's another recipe..........
Reese's Peanut Butter Cups Recipe
12 paper muffin cups (i use the mini cups, but you can make huge ones like in gourmet chocolate stores)
1 (12-ounce) pkg. milk chocolate chips
1 cup peanut butter
1/2 cup powdered sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
Cut the top half off of the muffin cups so that they are shallower.
Pour the chocolate chips into a glass bowl and melt them in the microwave: Microwave at 50% power for 2 minutes. Stir the chips gently, and let them sit for a minute or so. If the chocolate needs more melting, microwave those chippies again at half power for 30 seconds. Stir gently. Continue the process, stirring gently as you go. But be very careful not to overcook the chocolate or it'll seize up on you. (you can use a double boiler instead of a microwave)
Using a teaspoon, spoon a portion of the chocolate into the middle of a muffin cup. Draw the chocolate up the edges of the cup with the back of the spoon. Coat the entire inside of the muffin cup with chocolate and place it into a muffin tin. Repeat with the remaining muffin cups and then put the whole muffin tin in the refrigerator so that the chocolate hardens.
Combine the peanut butter, powdered sugar and salt in a medium bowl. When the chocolate in the muffin cups has hardened, pop the sweetened peanut butter into the microwave oven on full power for 1 minute. This will soften up the peanut butter so that it easily flows into the cups. Spoon a small portion of peanut butter into each of the chocolate-coated cups. Leave room at the top for an additional layer of chocolate, which we'll add later. Pop the candy back in the refrigerator to harden the peanut butter. This should take an hour or so.
When the peanut butter filling has hardened, re-melt the chocolate chips in the microwave on half power for 30 to 60 seconds. Use a teaspoon to spread a layer of chocolate over the top of each candy. Chill the candy once again to set up the chocolate. Finally, remember to take the paper off the outside of the peanut butter cups before eating them.
I wouldnt recomend putting these in the freezer as it could effect the way that the chocolate tastes. And also if you want your peanut butter to taste like what the real ones do, then add sugar to the mix.
OMG, why haven't I thought of this sooner? Very clever indeed and you omit the chemicals Reeses adds to keep the chocolate from melting too fast. What a delicious mess I've made, oink oink.
