Peanut Butter Cups (in a snow storm!)

We were told there was another storm a-comin'.  So while everyone else in Target was clearing out all the milk, cheese, eggs and bread; I went for the much more practical items - Marshmallows, Graham Crackers and Chocolate Chips.  Yep, just the essentials, folks!  But I had a purpose in mind.  This weather is perfect for s'mores (hence the Graham Crackers and Marshmallows).  However, I also had found a recipe on Pinterest that I just had to try which required the Graham Crackers and Chocolate Chips.  They also gave me an excuse to purchase these little lovelies...

and with the 50% percent off coupon, it meant storm or no storm (which at the time it was no storm), I was going to Michael's!

While the pizza was baking, I tossed together some amazing no bake peanut butter cups.  These things are incredible!

Crunchy Peanut Butter Cups

Original Pin     Recipe from: Blue Eyed Bakers

Hints:

• I used three full graham crackers to the get the 3/4 cup needed
• They probably would have cooled faster in paper cups. We ate the first ones with spoons because we were impatient, but they popped out better once they were thoroughly chilled.
• Make the peanut butter and chocolate mixes in large, microwave safe measuring cups so instead of having to scoop, you can just pour.  So much easier!  
• Use a food processor (love that thing!) to crush up the graham crackers.  It takes between 3-4 crackers to make 3/4 cups
• Makes 8 large cups or 24 miniature and two large cups with the recipe

Eric was super happy I decided to do a little non-baking.  You should totally make them!  They barely took any time at all and were worth the time it took in the fridge.

Well, since we're moving this weekend, I should probably get to packing.  Hope you're staying warm and enjoying something sweet yourself!
