Peanut Butter Cups... OH BABY!!!



Ok Ok OK.... after posting a picture on FB I got a few requests for the recipe!!! I WISH I was a gourmet cook... I wish this recipe was so complex that you all would say "OH ASHLEY..... YOU ARE AMAZING".... BUT Its not! It is sooo stinkin' easy! Takes all of 20 minutes to whip and up and stash in the fridge or freezer! I found this recipe in a desperate attempt to find somthing that Nick-o would eat... little did I know that I wouldn't be allowed to attend a family event on my husbands side without these little pretties in my hand! I use to make them in a 13X9 pan... but got a little creative a few batches ago and put them in a muffin tin (got the idea from a Ms. Brandi Arnold!!!) and everyone seems to like it even more! So...bust out your treadmills laides.... pre-pare yourself for extra hugs from the kids..... cause here we go.......


Ingredients:

-1 cup butter or margarine, melted

-2 cups graham cracker crumbs

-2 cups confectioners sugar

-1 cup peanut butter (cruchy or smooth...the hubs happens to be a PB snob and will ONLY eat smooth)

-1.5 cups semi sweet chocolate chips

-4 tablespoons peanut butter


Directions:

Mix together the butter, crumbs, sugar, and PB and smoosh into your dish of choice!!

Melt the chocolate chips and stir in the the peanut butter and pour over the top!!! Then put is into the fridge or freezer to harden and WHA-LA! You are the hero of your family!


Note: I buy actual graham crackers and beat the crap outta them and leave several chunks b/c that makes my brother in law a happy happy guy!
