Ingredients

For the topping:

  • 7 ounces (200 grams) milk chocolate
  • 3 1/2 ounces (100 grams) dark chocolate
  • Gold buttons and edible gold stars to decorate, or other decorations of your choice

For the base:

Directions

Place all the ingredients for the base in the bowl of a food processor. Blend the mixture until the mixture takes on a sandy texture.

Place 48 gold petit four cases in sets of miniature tart tins or mini-muffin tins (each indent about 1 3/4-inches in diameter). Use 1 teaspoon of the base mixture to fill the bases of the petit four cases. Press the sandy mixture down into the cases as best you can to form a layer at the bottom of each paper case.

Place the milk chocolate and dark chocolate together into a heatproof bowl. Suspend the bowl over a pan of simmering water (the water should not touch the bottom of the bowl). Melt the chocolate gently while stirring. Spoon teaspoonfuls of the melted chocolate onto the top of each of the sandy bases of the petit four cases.

Decorate the tops of the chocolate covered peanut butter cups with either a gold button or gold star in the middle of each and transfer them to the fridge. Let them set in the fridge, for about 30 minutes.

To serve, arrange the chocolate peanut butter cups in their cases on a clean plate.

    I ordered the gold stars, buttons AND the gold/silver tin liners from the same uk website. Shipping does not take long and the cost is very affordable! It is really what makes the whole treat and has such great impact. If you are going to make these at Holiday time, be sure to order in advance and/or order enough to get you through the season as they run out quickly. You will see on the site that these items are their #1 sellers (probably due to Nigella all year round but especially at Holiday when the episode tends to air again. Also I didn't use all of mine last Xmas and used the few leftover in the early Summer -- they kept beautifully!! Happy cooking

    These were so easy and so much fun to make -- perfect for a kid birthday party or superbowl party! I did have the same issue with the peanut butter being a bit too thin so I would suggest adding a bit more confectioners sugar or brown sugar until you get a firmer consistency. These were really really great -- very pleased with the outcome and easy recipe.
