Reese's Cup Remix With Brazil Nut Butter

"Another one from www.101cookbooks.com, this one I haven't tried yet. But heavens above, it looks simply divine! The notes given are: I suspect I'm not the only one out there with an affinity for peanut butter cups - sweet, nutty centers robed in chocolate. I wanted to do a version that played off the general shape of the traditional peanut butter cup, used all-natural ingredients, and had a contemporary twist to it. The twist? Instead of peanut butter, I went with a homemade Brazil nut butter filling. The taste and texture: The flavor of the Brazil nut isn't as pronounced (even when toasted) as peanuts or say, black walnuts. The nut butter I made for this recipe ended up nicely subtle with a prominent marzipan-ish flavor. Getting the amount of salt right was key, or the nut butter would have been completely flat and blah. Texture? The filling for a typical peanut butter cup is often a shade shy of solid. The filling here is more fluid, as you would expect from a homemade nut butter. The other thing I might do next time is have three different nut butter fillings on hand (black walnut, brazil nut, and the more familiar peanut butter) - do a range of cups to serve on a sample plate. The nut butters set off against the background of fine bittersweet chocolate is a real treat, being able to taste through a spectrum would be fun. The yield truly depends upon the size of your mold."
