Instructions
- In a medium bowl, combine peanut butter, powdered sugar, and butter. Place in refrigerator for an hour to chill. Then roll mixture into balls, about 5/8'' in diameter. Place the balls in the bottom of a 9'' x 13'' pan, in a single layer, and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
- Set up a double boiler, or make your own by placing a small saucepan of water over medium heat and bringing it to a simmer. Place a heatproof bowl over the pan, making sure it does not touch the surface of the water.
- Add the chocolate almond bark and chocolate chips to the bowl. Allow the chocolate to melt, stirring often. It should take about 5 to 10 minutes. When the chocolate has fully melted, remove the saucepan from the heat.
- Place a bit of chocolate bark into the bottom of a few paper candy cups (I use a "bon bon cup", also called candy cup #4). Gently top each chocolate layer with a peanut butter ball and then add more melted chocolate bark to cover the peanut butter balls. Let cool until set - or place in refrigerator to speed up the setting, if desired.

Notes
- These freeze extremely well. Just store in a freezer-safe container and separate layers with parchment paper.
