Homemade Peanut Butter Cups image

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.

Time 10m

Number Of Ingredients 5

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)

Steps:

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