Thanks for the tips! I'm definitely going to try these again because they are really, REALLY good - a LOT more substantial than store brand. I think it's funny that every recipe I print from the Internet ends up scrawled with tips I get from other people in order to make them better. I have a recipe for buttercream frosting that's just a vague shadow of what I originally printed out! Hi Janet & John! Thanks for the tips!

A couple tips for next time. Instead of using veg. oil in the chocolate use butter. It gives the chocolate a better taste plus it helps keep the chocolate from getting gloopy. Second pour a little of the chocolate into the cups first, let cool, then add the peanut butter balls, then the chocolate on top for more even coating. When looking for a different chocolate look for one with a high fat content because the higher the fat content the easier it is to melt and not seperate. But still no matter what you still have to melt it slowly. If it does seperate just add a little butter and it should pull back together. Good job on the PB cups. A couple tips for next time.
