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 cbutter
-
2 cpeanut butter (either smooth or crunchy your preference))
-
1 1/2 cgraham cracker crumbs
-
4 cpowdered sugar
-
8 ozchocolate chips (melted)
How to Make Homemade Peanut Butter Cups
- Melt Butter & Peanut butter together in large sauce pan. Once melted remove from heat.
- Add in Graham cracker crumbs, stir to combine.
Add in powdered sugar. Stir until combined. - 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!)
- melt cocolate in microwave and spread over peanut butter mixture. Let cool completly and cut into 24 squares.
- I have also rolled into balls and covered in chocolate to add to christmas goodie platters.
