Favorite recipes: Homemade Peanut Butter Cups

This has been my go-to treat for most of my life. I took these to elementary school for my birthday (you know, before they told kids they couldn't take homemade food to school), and I still make 'em for pot lucks. They are, quite simply, delicious. They are also easy and quick to make. I have a hard time not eating half the pan myself. I think I like them better than Reese's Peanut Butter Cups, because I can control how much chocolate is involved. Let's face it, the peanut-butter dough is the best part!

So, here is the recipe for

Homemade Peanut Butter Cups
1 1/2 cubes margarine
Melt and remove from heat. Beat and add:
1 3/4 cups graham cracker crumbs (12 big)
2 1/3 cups powdered sugar
1 cup peanut butter
Mix, then pat into 9x13 pan
Melt 2 cups (12 oz) milk chocolate chips and spread on top (use semi-sweet to cut the sweetness if you like)

Allow chocolate to cool. Cut and serve!


You're welcome!

I love the randomness of the picture you included on this post. I can see the treat in the upper right-hand corner, but the cool purple purse definitely deserved more attention. :)

Haha! I know the photo doesn't exactly suit my purpose for the post, but I was too lazy to make a new batch to photograph (also, I can't use the calories right now). Glad you like the purse. I've been using it ever since I burned the last one!
