Homemade Peanut Butter Cup Recipe! Perfect For Summertime!

I have been making these Homemade Peanut Butter Cups since 2013 when I first made them! Now summers do get warm here in the PNW but if you are a baker those urges to bake are strong! These are an amazing no-bake recipe to make when you just don’t want to heat up the kitchen at all. (I have included affiliate links to products I love.

I first found this recipe on  Hungry Girl Porvida!! 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.  No bakes are a favorite of mine to make in the summer months!

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, it was easy to lift in and out of the fridge.

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.
