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.
Ingredients
- 1 c
- butter
- 2 c
- peanut butter (either smooth or crunchy your preference))
- 1 1/2 c
- graham cracker crumbs
- 4 c
- powdered sugar
- 8 oz
- chocolate chips (melted)
How to Make Homemade Peanut Butter Cups
- 1Melt Butter & Peanut butter together in large sauce pan. Once melted remove from heat.
- 2Add in Graham cracker crumbs, stir to combine.
Add in powdered sugar. Stir until combined. - 3Press into 9x13 pan or muffn pan with liners. If you use a muffin pan you DEFINTLY want to use liners or they are REALLY hard to get out even if you use non-stick spray (been there done that!)
- 4melt cocolate in microwave and spread over peanut butter mixture. Let cool completly and cut into 24 squares.
