Print Recipe

Ingredients

1 pound Wilton orange-colored white chocolate melting disks
1 cup peanut butter
1 ½ cups chocolate chips or 12 ounces of chocolate
½ cup heavy cream

Instructions

Melt your orange-colored white chocolate melting discs in your microwave for about a minute, stir until the chocolate is melted and creamy. Add in the peanut butter and stir until blended and smooth. Spread mixture into your pan.
If using a traditional 9x9 pan, line your pan with parchment or waxed paper, leaving an overhang. However I recommend a silicone pan.
If using a silicone pan filled with squares, place your melted mixture in a pastry bag or plastic baggie and fill each square a little more than halfway. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or until mostly firm.
In a saucepan, combine your milk chocolate and your cream and heat over medium high heat until melted and smooth, stirring constantly. Pour/smooth over peanut butter mixture.
*If using the silicone pan repeat above process for filing squares.
Chill for at least 3 hours or overnight. Later, pop out the candy from the molds or lift out the candy and cut into small squares.
Feel free to "bedazzle" these for Halloween or any holiday or any holiday. I made some with candy corn, candy hearts hearts, sprinkles, glitter and pumpkin candies.
Put some parchment paper in a pretty box, type up the recipe on a cute and there you have it...a wonderfully tasty homemade gift.

Notes

The bottom shelf of your fridge is typically the coldest area of the refrigerator as cold "falls". If storing in the fridge after complete, store in a sealed container.
