Divide fondant ball into two pieces.
Peanut butter cups:-----------------------------------------------------------------------.
Add peanut butter to half of the fondant ball.
Roll about 1 T. of peanut butter fondant into a ball and flatten slightly with your palm. Repeat with all the peanut butter fondant. This makes the centers for the peanut butter cups.
Set out a mini-muffin cup for each of the peanut butter centers you made.
Melt half the chocolate microwave on half-power. Stir every 30 seconds until smooth and DON'T overheat.
Pour a little melted chocolate in the bottom of a mini-muffin cup and place a peanut butter center on top of the chocolate. Fill the cup about 3/4 full of chocolate. Save your "dirty" chocolate dish, you'll use it again.
Allow chocolate to harden and peanut butter cups are finished!
Peppermint Patties:-----------------------------------------------------------------------.
Add peppermint extract to the 2nd half of the fondant ball.
Roll about 1 T. of the peppermint fondant into a ball and flatten slightly with your palm. Repeat with all the peppermint fondant. This makes the centers for the peppermint patties.
