Ingredients

Instructions

  • Add your peanut butter to a medium sized bowl. Heat in the microwave for 15-20 seconds to soften. Stir in the graham cracker crumbs and maple syrup.
  • Place the chopped chocolate in a microwave safe bowl. Heat for 30-second intervals, stirring between each interval, until smooth and melted. This shouldn't take longer than 75-90 seconds! Do not overheat. When there are just a few pieces left, keep stirring. The residual heat will smooth it out.
  • Pour a small amount of chocolate into a silicone mold or mini muffin pan with liners. Tap to allow the chocolate to spread.
  • Add about a teaspoon of the peanut butter mixture to each cup. Top with the rest of the melting chocolate, tapping gently to allow the melted chocolate to settle into the mold.
  • Put the peanut butter cups in the fridge for 20-30 minutes or until set.
  • If desired, drizzle with additional melted chocolate and top with sprinkles. Enjoy!
