Test Kitchen Notes

The pistachio filling in these chocolates is an enjoyable twist from the regular peanut butter cup. The gooey, green filling is perfect for Halloween -- try lightly toasting the nuts before grinding for a more robust flavor. - Stephanie —The Editors

i think this excellent recipe would improve by using small un-tipped pastry bags to put in the bottom chocolate and the filling [so much less messy] and a pastry bag w/ a simple 'swirl' tip to do the top layer of each candy.
i also add a few drops of Spicedrop cardamom extract to the filling, for another flavor dimension!
