  4. Spoon about 1 tablespoon of the peanut butter mixture into each muffin liner, pressing down to create a flat base.
  5. Refrigerate the peanut butter cups for at least 30 minutes to firm up.
  6. Melt the chocolate chips in a double boiler or microwave-safe bowl in 30 second intervals, stirring until completely smooth.
  7. Once the peanut butter cups are firm, carefully pour the melted chocolate over the peanut butter filling, covering completely.
  8. Refrigerate for at least another 30-40 minutes, or until the chocolate is set.
