homemade peanut butter cups
Found the recipe in a old cookbook. Did a little tweaking (orgininal called for shortening instead of butter) and now it really does taste just like the real thing. So quick and easy to make. My daughter LOVES them. I put them in a mini muffin pan with liners so they are so easy to pack for lunches or snacks.

Step 2Add in Graham cracker crumbs, stir to combine. Add in powdered sugar. Stir until combined.
