    Cup of Yum
  1. Mix 3/4 cup peanut butter with 3/4 cup powdered sugar.
  2. Roll the sweetened peanut butter into 6 balls and put in the freezer for an hour or longer. (The longer the better but hey any length of time is better than nothing).

  5. Melt the butter and chocolate in a microwave safe bowl in 30 second increments until smooth.
  6. Let the chocolate cool for a couple of minutes, then add in the powdered sugar, whole eggs and yolks and mix.
  7. Sift in the flour and mix until just combined.
  8. Add half the batter evenly to the muffin tins and gently put the peanut butter balls into the middle of each one. Spoon on the remaining batter into each well evenly.
  9. Bake for 12-14 minutes or until the sides are set and the middle is still slightly jiggly.
  10. Let them rest for a minute then add a cookie sheet on top of the muffin tin then flip over.
  11. Using a spatula slide it under the cake carefully and transfer to your plate.
  12. Dust with cocoa powder, top with dollop of whipped cream and chopped chocolate wafers.
