One of our favorite Halloween Treats – here is a Trick to make them at home…
3/4 Cup Peanut Butter – we like extra crunchy Jif – but if you want to go natural … Adams is great – if you prefer no sugar added … or buy the bulk make it yourself almond or peanut butter
and stir to blend over medium low heat in a 3 quart pot with
1/2 Cup butter [ or butter substitute ]
3/4 Cup graham cracker crumbs
1/4 Cup Maple Syrup
Spoon into paper or tin foil baking cups in a regular muffin pan to make 12 individual ‘cups’.
Topping:
Melt 1 Cup chocolate chips – [milk, dark, white or carob, if you prefer] in a small pot with
1/4 C milk [or rice milk if on a non -dairy regimen] stir til smooth.
Pour over Peanut butter mixture – spread to the sides of cups with a spatula.
Optional – 1/4 Cup chopped peanuts, almonds, walnuts, pecans or brazil nuts sprinkled on top.
Refrigerate at least 2 hours before serving or eating —- YUMMMO … only one seems to satisfy the craving for a PB Cup … keep refrigerated or freeze for when unexpected guests drop in.
