Chocolate Peanut Butter Cups

These Chocolate Peanut Butter Cups are so delicious and so much better than Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups. They are also healthier than Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups!

Servings: 12

Ingredients:

½ c. Earth Balance butter

¾ c. crunchy peanut butter (preferably unsweetened and unsalted)

¾ c. graham cracker crumbs or 10 graham cracker squares (look for some that are naturally sweetened or low in sugar)

¼ c. maple syrup

1 c. non-dairy chocolate chips

¼ c. soy milk

Directions:

1.       Line a muffin tin with paper liners. (I didn’t use them but it is helpful to reduce stickiness. Make sure you oil the muffin tin if you don’t use paper liners.)

2.       Melt the butter in a small saucepan over medium heat.

3.       Stir in the peanut butter, graham cracker crumbs, and maple syrup. Mix well.

4.       Remove the mixture from the heat.

5.       Evenly divide the mixture among the muffin cups.

6.       Combine the chocolate and milk in another saucepan. Stir over medium heat until the chocolate has melted.

7.       Spoon the chocolate evenly over the peanut butter mixture.

8.       Place in the refrigerator to set for at least 2 hours before serving.

9.       Enjoy! (BEWARE: They are addicting.)
