INGREDIENTS
- 30 1-inch paper candy liners
- 1/3 cup creamy peanut butter
- 3/4 cup sifted powdered sugar

MELT morsels and shortening in medium, uncovered, microwave-safe bowl on MEDIUM-HIGH (70%) power for 1 minute; STIR. Morsels may retain some of their shape. If necessary, microwave at additional 10- to 15-second intervals, stirring just until melted. Spoon 1 measuring teaspoon of melted morsels into each cup.
