hey guys it's Danny now these days
0:06
Valentine's Day is a family affair in my
0:09
house so I like to make a little
0:10
homemade sweet treat that I can share
0:12
with my hubby and my kids so I am going
0:15
to show you guys what I plan to make
0:17
this year for this quick bite I'm making
0:19
my clean and delicious dark chocolate
0:22
peanut butter cups so the first thing
0:24
you want to do is measure out your
0:25
chocolate and you're going to need 4 oz
0:28
of dark chocolate now it's a little bit
0:31
more than that but that's just fine then
0:34
you need to set up your double boiler to
0:35
melt your chocolate down just put a
0:37
couple of inches of water in the bottom
0:39
of the pot turn the heat on let that
0:41
water come to a simmer then place a
0:44
glass bowl on top of the pot and add
0:46
your chocolate in and then I like to
0:48
just give it a stir every couple of
0:50
minutes to help it melt down and now if
0:53
you wanted to take a shortcut here guys
0:55
you could also take your chocolate and
0:57
melt it in the microwave for a couple
0:59
minutes once your chocolate is all
1:01
melted down and smooth and velvety you
1:05
are ready to start assembling your
1:06
peanut butter cups so you want to buy
1:08
these little candy cup holders they're
1:12
like cupcake holders but even smaller
1:14
and then you're going to drizzle about a
1:16
teaspoon of the melted chocolate right
1:18
into the cup then you want to use your
1:21
spoon to gently push the chocolate up
1:23
the sides of the liner the goal here is
1:27
to create a little chocolate candy cup
1:30
continue doing that till you're done
1:32
with all eight peanut butter cups now
1:35
I'm just going to pop this into my
1:36
freezer and let them set up for 10
1:39
minutes and while they're doing that I'm
1:42
going to mix together my peanut butter
1:44
mixture i've got 2 tablespoons of peanut
1:46
butter now should you or anyone in your
1:49
family have a peanut allergy you could
1:51
easily swap in a little bit of almond
1:53
butter or even a sunflower seed butter
1:55
two teaspoons of coconut oil and then a
1:58
little more than a tablespoon of
2:00
confectioner sugar going to mix that all
2:03
together and set it aside now here's the
2:07
deal guys the confectioner sugar is
2:09
completely optional but what I
2:11
discovered is that if you don't use it
2:13
once the peanut butter cups come to room
2:15
temperature the peanut butter tends to
2:17
ooze out of them now that's not a big
2:19
deal if you know you're going to have
2:20
them at home and leave them in the
2:21
fridge and just eat them as you want
2:22
them but if you plan to give them away
2:25
or have them at room temperature for a
2:27
period of time then you might want to go
2:29
ahead and add the confectioner sugar
2:30
because it helps bind the peanut butter
2:32
together plus it's only a little bit
2:34
more than a tablespoon for the whole
2:36
recipe so there's eight peanut butter
2:37
cups each one just gets a kiss of that
2:40
additional sugar then once our chocolate
2:43
has set up you're ready to add the
2:45
peanut butter take a teaspoon of that
2:47
peanut butter and just dollop it right
2:49
into the center of the cup
2:53
you want to be careful that the peanut
2:54
butter doesn't go higher than the
2:56
chocolate on the side of the cup perfect
2:59
now I'm going to finish this off by
3:01
drizzling the rest of the dark chocolate
3:04
over the top of the peanut butter again
3:06
it's going to be about a teaspoon of
3:07
chocolate and just for fun if you can
3:10
get yourself a fun little Valentine
3:12
decoration or sprinkle those are really
3:15
festive to put on top i found these
3:16
really cute pink hearts okay that's it
3:19
they're ready to rumble now what I'm
3:20
going to do is pop them back in the
3:22
freezer let them set up for about 2
3:24
hours and then these guys are going to
3:26
be ready to serve and then once they're
3:29
all set up they are ready to be taste
3:31
tested you just want to make sure to
3:34
take off this paper lining
3:38
and then take a bite
3:45

3:47
