I have been making these Homemade Peanut Butter Cups since 2013.! Now summers do get warm here in the PNW, but if you are a baker, those urges to bake are strong! These are amazing no-bake recipes when you don’t want to heat the kitchen at all.

I first found this recipe on Pinterest!! My only changes have been adding more chocolate here and there or swapping out semi-sweet for milk chocolate.  It has never disappointed us and has been a hit every time we made it.  Peanut butter cup recipe with graham crackers are always a crowded pleaser!

Homemade Peanut Butter Cups Ingredients

  • Butter
  • Peanut Butter
  • Graham Cracker Crumbs
  • Powder Sugar
  • Salt
  • Chocolate Chips Semi-Sweet

Equipment Needed For Making Peanut Butter Cups

  • Small Sauce Pan
  • Spatula
  • Muffin Pan– You could use a silicone muffin pan and skip the liners, but I liked the sturdiness of moving the pan into the fridge.
  • Muffin Liners
  • Pyrex Measuring Cups

How To Make Homemade Peanut Butter Cups:

Line your muffin tin with liners, or use a silicone pan. I used liners in a metal pan; lifting in and out of the fridge was easy.

Heat your butter in a pan on medium heat on your stove.

Remove your pan from the burner and stir in the peanut butter, graham crackers, powdered sugar, and salt.

Continue to stir until well mixed; the mixture will be lumpy depending on how fine your graham cracker crumbs are.

Use a cookie scoop and disperse the peanut butter mixture into the liners.

Place the muffin tray in the fridge to allow them to start to cool.

In a microwavable bowl or Pyrex measuring glass, melt chocolate chips slowly in the microwave in a bowl. Do ten-second intervals till melted and smooth.

Pull out the muffin pan and spoon the chocolate on top.

Put back in the fridge for about 45 minutes until set.

How To store Peanut Butter Cups

Store in the fridge for up to five days in an airtight container.

If freezing, store for up to 1 month in an airtight container in the freezer.

Storing leftovers properly requires the right tools! My preferred storage method is if the leftovers can be sealed in a food saver. If not, then an air-tight container or Ziploc bag for the fridge is the way I go. The air-tight container and a freezer Ziploc bag are the next best bet for freezing the leftovers. I also use a food scale to often measure leftovers into serving sizes.
