Peanut Butter Cups

Paper cups (like muffin papers, except smaller)
Dipping chocolate or large package of semi-sweet chocolate chips
1 cup peanut butter, creamy
1 cube margarine or butter
1 cup powdered sugar

Melt the chocolate in the microwave, being very careful not to burn it. One minute should be enough. Melt the peanut butter and the butter. Remove from heat and add sifted powdered sugar. If too thin, add more sugar. Let cool.

Place some chocolate of the back of a spoon. Use it to coat the sides and bottom of the papers. Not too much chocolate on the bottom. Let coated papers set until hard. Spoon cooled peanut butter mixture into the set coated papers. Don't fill quite to the top, but smooth out the peanut butter as much as possible. Top with more melted chocolate, smoothing with back of spoon. Let chocolate set up, then hide from the kids.
