Peanut butter and chocolate are two of my favorite pairings of all time. This recipe is absolutely delicious and a no-fail crowd pleaser. When I was in Atlanta last my mom whipped up a batch of these homemade peanut butter cups and they are insanely good.
Way better than any Reese’s. Trust me.
The crunchy texture added by the graham crackers are an unsurprising twist that make these a home run.
They also don’t require any baking, so for those friends of mine that say they can’t bake, this is the recipe for you. 🙂
Make these. ASAP.
Just make sure you aren’t alone with them, they’ll be gone in a matter of seconds.
Crunchy Peanut Butter Cups
recipe from blue eyed bakers
ingredients:
 
1/4 c. butter
3/4 c. peanut butter
3/4 c. graham cracker crumbs
1/4 c. sugar
1 c. semisweet or milk chocolate chips
1/4 c. milk
sea salt
directions:
 
Line a muffin tin with papers (can also use a mini muffin pan)
In a microwave safe bowl melt the butter and peanut butter together for 45 seconds. Stir until smooth.
Add graham cracker crumbs and sugar and mix to combine. Distribute mixture evenly amongst the prepared muffin cups. Refrigerate for 15 minutes to set peanut butter layer.
After the peanut butter has chilled combine chocolate and milk in a microwave safe bowl and heat in 25 second intervals until chocolate it melted. Stir until smooth. Distribute chocolate evenly over the top of the peanut butter layer. Sprinkle with sea salt and chill until firm;  at least 30 minutes. Store covered in the fridge.
Enjoy!

    Homemade PB cups (especially with salt) are my LIFE. So. Freaking. Delicious. I’m officially craving them now. This craving will most likely be cured only by a full jar of Jif, a spoon, and a bag of chocolate chips… Thanks for that, Ashley.
