  butter, mixing until well blended. Using slightly rounded
  teaspoonfulls, shape the peanut butter filling into balls. Place 1
  ball in each chilled cup and press lightly with your fingers to
  flatten. Spoon 1 level t. of the reserved chocolate mixture on top
  and smooth over to seal. Chill until form, about 45 minutes.  Store
  in airtight container in the refrigerator.
