Peanut Butter And Milk Chocolate Chip Tassies Recipes

MILK CHOCOLATE TASSIES

Steps:

• Beat the butter, cream cheese, brown sugar, granulated sugar and salt in a medium bowl with a mixer on medium speed until smooth and creamy, about 2 minutes. Beat in the egg and vanilla until combined. Reduce the mixer speed to low and beat in the flour until incorporated. Beat in 2 ounces of the chopped chocolate. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until the dough is no longer sticky, about 1 hour.
• Coat a 24-cup mini-muffin pan with cooking spray. Divide the dough between the cups (about 1 heaping tablespoon each); press into the bottoms and up the sides to create cups. (If the dough becomes sticky, dampen your fingers.) Refrigerate until firm, 30 minutes.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Bake the cookies until browned around the edges and dry in the centers, 15 to 20 minutes. Let cool 5 minutes in the pan, then use the back of a small spoon to gently indent the center of each. Use an offset spatula to remove the cookies from the pan; transfer to a rack to cool completely.
• Meanwhile, put the remaining 6 ounces chopped chocolate and 3 tablespoons heavy cream in a microwave-safe bowl; microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring, until smooth. Let stand until thick like hot fudge, 10 minutes. (If the chocolate is too thick, gradually stir in 1 more tablespoon heavy cream. If the chocolate hardens, return to the microwave.) Spoon the chocolate into the cookies and top with the candies. Let cool completely.

• Combine the chocolate, peanut butter and confectioners' sugar in a medium bowl. Heat the heavy cream in a small saucepan over low heat until steaming; pour over the chocolate mixture and add the vanilla.
