Chocolate Peanut Butter Cups

My mom and grandmother visited this weekend and we started prepping for our Easter company next week. Mom is really into Pinterest these days and found a great recipe for homemade chocolate peanut butter cups, so we whipped them together in about 30 minutes and treated ourselves to a little preview of the chocolate-tastic holiday to come. The milk makes the chocolate oh-so-soft, and the sea salt flakes really add to the flavor and make these little guys look elegant.

Melt the butter, peanut butter, and sugar in the microwave for 45 seconds. Oh yeah, these are healthy.

Stir the graham cracker dust into the PB mixture until it’s evenly distributed. Pour into muffin tins with liners.

Cool the PB cups in the fridge for 15 minutes. Meanwhile, microwave the milk & chocolate for 25 seconds. Stir thoroughly to distribute the heat. If necessary micro for another 10 seconds. Pour onto the PB cups and sprinkle with salt. Fridge to harden up.
