Crunchy Peanut Butter Cups

Easy. As. Pie. 

I mean really... microwaving the ingredients? GENIUS!

Ingredients
1/4 cup butter
3/4 cup peanut butter
3/4 cup chocolate graham cracker crumbs
1/4 cup sugar
1 cup semisweet or milk chocolate chips
1/4 cup milk
Sea salt



I used a mini muffin tray for these. I sprayed with cooking spray, but it doesn't matter much, you'll still have to loosen them a bit if you don't use muffin cups.

In a microwave safe bowl, melt the butter & peanut butter together for 45 seconds.  Stir until smooth.  Add graham cracker crumbs and sugar and mix to combine.  Distribute mixture evenly between the prepared muffin cups.  Refrigerate for 45 minutes to set peanut butter layer.

After the peanut butter has chilled, combine chocolate and milk in a microwave safe bowl and heat until just melted. Microwaving chocolate is tricky... do it in small spurts and stir every so often to ensure you're not burning your chocolate.  Stir until smooth.  Distribute chocolate evenly over the top of the peanut butter layer.  Sprinkle with sea salt and chill until firm, at least 30 minutes. 


Store covered in the fridge.

Seriously? No, seriously? That easy?
