First you will need chocolate candy molds that are shaped like little cups.
I use Wilton chocolate melts, I think they are now called candy melts?
1)Melt your chocolate
2)use brand new clean brushes (similar to those little paintbrushes) to put chocolate into the mold and shape it to the mold
3) put those molds in the fridge to harden.
4) take the chocolate cups out of the molds carefully, put them in a container and store in the fridge.

Here is the recipe for the fudge we use as the peanut butter filling. The link leads to the same recipe on allrecipes.com.

Ingredients:
[TABLE]
[TR]
[TD="width: 50%"]3 cups white sugar
3/4 cup butter
2/3 cup evaporated milk
1 (10 ounce) package peanut butter
[/TD]
[TD="width: 50%"]chips
1 (7 ounce) jar marshmallow creme
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
[/TD]
[/TR]
[/TABLE]
Directions:
[TABLE]
[TR]
[TD]1.[/TD]
[TD]Spray a 9x13 inch baking pan with vegetable spray.[/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD]2.[/TD]
[TD]In a heavy 4 quart sauce pan, combine sugar, milk, and butter or margarine. Heat to a full boil, stirring constantly. Boil for 5 minutes over medium heat, stirring constantly.[/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD]3.[/TD]
[TD]Remove from heat, and add peanut butter chips; stir until chips have melted. Mix in marshmallow cream and vanilla until well blended. Pour into prepared pan. Cool. Cut into pieces and enjoy.[/TD]
[/TR]
[/TABLE]


Instead of putting the fudge into a pan to cool, put the sauce pan in the fridge

1) You want to keep it in liquid form so you can pour it into the cups without melting the chocolate.
2) once you pour the fudge into each cup, put them back into the fridge so they don't melt, as the fudge should still be warm, so it wont be hardened.....
3) let the cups and fudge harden.

I hope I explained it well enough....

They are really good, and you can make them look fancy enough for a wedding. We had them at my sister's wedding. They were the hit out of all the food.
