Mini Peanut Butter Cups


I was never a fan of peanut butter cups until I had these. They are made with natural peanut butter, toasted almonds and dark chocolate. A coworker of August requested these for the holidays. I found out they are really easy to make and don't require any baking.

Mini Peanut Butter Cups

Makes 12

Inspired by food.com

3/4 cup icing sugar

1/4 cup unsalted butter

3/4 cup graham cracker crumbs

1/2 cup natural peanut butter (well mixed)

6 oz. semisweet chocolate chips or dark chocolate, chopped

1/4 cup toasted almonds, chopped


Line mini muffin tins with paper liners. In a medium bowl, cream together butter and peanut butter. Add graham cracker crumbs and icing sugar in small quantities and mix. Spoon mixture into paper liners. Melt the chocolate in a double boiler or in a small heatproof dish over a saucepan with 1 inch of simmering water. Stir until melted and smooth. Spoon over peanut butter mixture. Sprinkle with toasted almonds. Refrigerate for a few hours to set.
