(Update before the recipe... thanks to those of you who have been praying for our son-in-law Andrew. He is finally home from the hospital tonight.)
A few weeks ago, I had a post about some things we did with Alaina and Ruby. One of those things was making chocolate candy. Several of you asked for the recipe, so I'm sharing it today. It has only 3 ingredients and is very easy to do. You need silicone candy molds which are available on Amazon. You can buy them in many designs; we had Fall designs, but you can choose them for whatever occasion you want. These are fun to do, very tasty and would be great for Christmas.
Peanut Butter Meltaways
8 ounces white chocolate, coarsely chopped
8 ounces milk chocolate, coarsely chopped
6 ounces peanut butter
Set silicone candy molds on cookie sheets to allow you to move them when filled.
Melt the white and milk chocolate, then stir in peanut butter until silky smooth. Transfer this mix to squeeze bottle and fill the wells in your silicone candy molds. Once filled, tap the candy tray several times to allow air bubbles to release. (If you look at mine, you can see I didn't do it enough as you can see little holes where air was trapped).
Place trays in refrigerator for 2-4 hours to allow candy to set.
Remove trays and pop candy out of molds.
Store in refrigerator. Candy will keep for several weeks.

Dear Mari, I am so glad that Andrew is back home from the hospital.
These peanut butter melt aways look decadent. Thank you ❤️ for sharing.
Answered prayer for Andrew! Praise the Lord. I prayed for him last night and I will continue to pray as he recovers. That candy is JUST what I look for in a recipe and I'm fixing to go on Amazon and find some molds! Thank you my friend! xoxo 🏴☠️
Thanks for sharing this recipe, Mari! I'm going to give it a try!
It looks so smooth and yummy! I need to try it.
Hi Mari, thanks for the recipe! Sounds something that I could do. I need to get some silicone molds. I am glad Andrew is doing better now.
So glad to hear Andrew is home from the hospital and continuing to recover. These peanut butter meltaways look delicious, and I love that there are only three ingredients. Thanks for sharing the recipe!
So glad your son in law is home.
Thanks for the candy recipe

I guessed I missed a message about your son in law Andrew, but I am thankful to know he is home from the hospital and doing well.
And thank you for sharing the recipe for the candy, etc. That looks like so much fun...especially for you and the grandkids to do together! I love that you have such fun projects to do with them! They are truly blessed to have you nearby and making so many memories together.
So happy to hear that Andrew is back home and healing, Mari. Wow! Those chocolates do look simple to make and tasty, too.
I am glad Andrew is doing OK and is coming home from the hospital.
Yum! These would be great to make for Christmas! I love peanut butter flavoured chocolate.
Hi Mari, those look so beautiful! How creative. I have often seen those candy mold at Hobby Lobby and have been tempted to try. Every year my MIL gives me a Hobby Lobby gift certificate for our Anniversary. :). Last year I bought a really cool cake decorating set. I think this year I may get some candy making supplies. I know the family would love it. I have two candy recipes that I try to make once a year. One is my mother's Divinity recipe and the other is for Chocolate Cherry Fudge. It tastes just like those Queen Anne chocolate covered cherries. You take and melt a bag of milk chocolate chips in a double broiler. Then blend in a jar of marshmallow cream, and about 1 to 2 cups chopped maraschino cherries. The amount of cherries really depends on how much you like them and how much chocolate mixture you have, you want just the right amount, not over or under much. Then you let it sit in the refrigerator for 24 hours. When you cut a square the cherries have that liquidity syrup around them. Really tasty. :). Today is a baking day. I am making chocolate chip cookies for my MIL and I am making several small pumpkin cheesecakes in the instant pot. They freeze really well. Some weeks I am not up to doing a lot of cooking and we don't each much processed food as it causes my husband to have more inflammation with his autoimmune diseases. So when I am having a good week, I get in the kitchen and cook up a storm and we freeze everything. In the laundry room we have an extra freezer. It not too big, more of medium sized and it has really been a big help. Well, my friend thank you so much for the sweet comments you have left, I really appreciated the one yesterday about the tea set! :). Have a beautiful day with lots of happy moments! :)
I am so happy that Andrew got home! Prayers will continue! Thanks for the recipe!! I'm going to go look at some of those molds!! xo
It must be… VERY good 😊
Well first thing - I'm glad Andrew is out of the hospital and recovering. Those chocolates look good but I'm afraid they wouldn't make it to the molds! Chocolate is a major weakness! When I buy chocolate chips, if I don't use them within a couple of days, we start snacking on them! We're hopeless!
Thank you so much for the delicious recipe! Maybe I'll try it :)
oooh I love chocolate. Thanks for sharing this wonderful recipe. Janice
Praise the Lord for Andrew's healing. Continued prayers for him and the family.
I love this simple recipe for the yummy candy. I think its something that Even I Can Do !!!
Sue
Pleased to read that Andrew is now home from the hospital.
Many thanks for sharing this recipe idea.
All the best Jan
I am glad to read that Andrew is out of the hospital and I hope he has a good recovery! I used to make these with my mom, many years ago.
Those are so awesome. Thank you for sharing the recipe.
I"ve never thought of making my own chocolate candy. Thank you for sharing your recipe Mari.
Happy to hear Andrew is home, that’s great news! I love making candy, but haven’t done it in a while. I need to put it on the list for the holidays!!
Glad Andrew is home! That candy looks so good - let me know if you have extra you want to get rid of! lol
