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.

Oh my goodness, this is right up my alley. Peanut butter and chocolate are staples in my diet, and I need these in my life asap!
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.
