Bake for 15 mins until golden. The dough will sink as it bakes, so leave until cool enough to handle, then press it up the sides of the holes again. Leave to cool completely.
• Break the chocolate into a heatproof bowl and melt until smooth in the microwave in 20-second bursts, or set over a pan of barely simmering water ensuring the bowl doesn't touch the water.

Leave to cool until the chocolate sets, about 1 hr. Will keep in an airtight container for up to five days.

REESE'S PEANUT BUTTER COOKIE CUPS

Steps:

• The first thing you need to decide is whether you will be using full size or mini Reese's cups. If you choose the full size, you will need a regular size muffin tin, but if you choose the minis you will need a mini muffin tin. I think the full size makes a better cookie.
• Preheat oven according to the cookie dough instructions, usually about 350°fF.
• Spray the muffin tins with butter spray.
• Ball up the cookie dough as though you are making cookies.
• Press enough dough into each tin to fill about half way.
• Bake according to cookie dough instructions.
• The cookies will puff up and fill the muffin tin.
• As soon as the cookies are done, take the tin out of the oven and press an unwrapped Reese's Cup into the center of each tin. This will create a peanut butter cookie crust around the cup.
• Let them set for a couple of minutes, while the chocolate and peanut butter melt.
• Get a nice tall glass of milk and enjoy this delicious treat!
