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.

How To Make homemade peanut butter cups

  • Step 1
    Melt Butter & Peanut butter together in large sauce pan. Once melted remove from heat.
  • Step 2
    Add in Graham cracker crumbs, stir to combine. Add in powdered sugar. Stir until combined.
  • Step 3
    Press 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!)
  • Step 4
    melt cocolate in microwave and spread over peanut butter mixture. Let cool completly and cut into 24 squares.
  • Step 5
    I have also rolled into balls and covered in chocolate to add to christmas goodie platters.
