Growing up, I always loved the day that I came home from school and found my mom making giant batches of peanut butter cups. It meant two things: Christmas was just around the corner, and I got to pig out on peanut butter cups. Both insanely exciting occasions.
Our peanut butter cup recipe is a cinch. Oh, and it’s delicious. And addicting.
INGREDIENTS
5 1/2 graham crackers, crushed
2 cups powdered sugar
1/2 cup butter, melted
1 cup peanut butter
dipping chocolate (usually found in the craft/party section at the grocery store or craft stores)
INSTRUCTIONS
① Crumble the graham crackers and mix them with the powdered sugar.
② Stir in the melted butter, then add the peanut butter.
③ Melt the dipping chocolate in the microwave for 30 seconds, and stir. Continue heating and stirring in 15 second increments until the chocolate is melted. Put a small amount of chocolate into the bottom of each baking cup (I used a mini tin).
④ Form peanut butter mixture into small balls and place one inside of each baking cup.
⑤ Fill the rest of the cup up with more chocolate and let it refrigerate until firm.
Seriously, you’re going to love having this recipe!
{This recipe used to be on my old blog, which has been deserted and overrun by some related searches site, so I’m pleased to re-introduce it to the world}

These are awesome!!
Definitely my kind of treats.
A questions though – I don’t quite understand what do you mean by 5 1/2 graham crackers…. 5.5 pieces ??
The “graham cracker” for this recipe is one big piece with 4 segments. So 5 1/2 graham crackers is 22 little cracker segments. Does that make sense?
Yes, thanks!
I don’t live in the States so I couldn’t understand.
I so wanna make these cups :)
These look delicious. I have a link party called Wednesdays Adorned From Above Link Party and would love to have you share this with everyone. Here is the link to the party.
