Ingredients

1 cup peanut butter
¼ cup butter softened
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 ½ cups confectioner's sugar
½ pound white almond bark
½ pound chocolate almond bark
Christmas sprinkles

Instructions

Place 18 cupcake liners in your cupcake tin.
In a large bowl using an electric mixer combine the peanut butter and butter until well mixed.
Add the vanilla extract and confectioners sugar and mix until well combined. The mixture will be crumbly.
In a microwave safe bowl melt one of the almond barks in the microwave in 30 second intervals until the chocolate is melted and smooth.
Spoon a little bit of the chocolate in the bottom of each cupcake liner. Use a spoon to spread the almond bark around the bottom of the cupcake liners and slightly up the sides.
Using half of the peanut butter mixture (save half for the other chocolate), roll about 1-1½ tablespoons the peanut butter mixture into a ball and then flatten it out into a disc.
Place the discs into each chocolate lined cupcake liner.
Spoon more chocolate over the top of each peanut butter disc.
Immediately sprinkle with the festive sprinkles.
Repeat with the other flavored almond bark.
Let the peanut butter cups set for an hour at room temperature or 15 minutes in the fridge.
