These Homemade Peanut Butter Cups are so simple to make and taste as good, if not better, than the real thing! They’re irresistible!

12-Days-of-Sugar-2

On the 2nd Day of Sugar my true love gave to me Homemade Peanut Butter Cups and they are so, so good!  I’ve kept it no secret how much I love chocolate and peanut butter (alone or together) so I think these Homemade Peanut Butter Cups are kind of the bomb! 

Back in the day when I was probably 12 or 13, my sister and her friend Emily and I decided we wanted to make a little money.  We came up with the idea of making and selling homemade peanut butter cups.  I honestly don’t even remember how we made them.  I don’t think they even had a peanut butter center.  We probably just melted peanut butter and chocolate together and poured it into cups.  

However we did it, I do remember we made a lot of money. . . .at least by a 12-year old’s standards anyway. We thought we were quite the entrepreneurs. So now, every time I eat a Reese’s peanut butter cup or these homemade peanut butter cups, I always think about us doing that as kids. . . .those were the good old days.

Well I think this recipe is probably slightly better than what we made back in the day.  These are so good and so simple to make. Put a few in a box and tie a ribbon around it and you’ve got a great neighbor gift.

  3. Roll into balls a little larger than a small marble.
  4. Chill in refrigerator for about 45 mins.
