Homemade Peanut Butter Cups


Chocolate and peanut butter are one of the greatest pairings ever. Nothing beats the sweet and salty combo and the perfection of the two when combined. Peanut butter cups are pretty much the holy grail of the pairing, the duo at it's best and one of my favorite desserts. One of the downsides this treat is it often has ingredients that are not the best for you, hydrogenated oil, high fructose corn syrup are all things we should eliminate from our diet, but I'll tell you, it's still hard to stay away from these things despite the doctor's warnings.

So what's a girl to do but make them herself? I have been contemplating this idea for some time but couldn't quite figure out how to make them and then I found a solution online that made perfect sense. Make them in cupcake liners! How genius is that? It's the perfect size, you get the classic ridged edges and it makes clean up a breeze.

Can you just taste them now? They're so easy you can practically make them in your sleep.
