How to Make Chocolate Peanut Butter Cups

  1. Line a 12-cup muffin tin with cupcake liners.
  2. In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt 1/2 cup vegan margarine.
  3. Once melted, stir in 1 cup creamy peanut butter, 1/2 cup graham cracker crumbs, and 1/2 cup maple syrup (or other sweetener) until well combined.
  4. Spoon about 2 tablespoons of the peanut butter mixture into each cupcake liner.
  5. In a separate small saucepan over medium heat, melt 1 cup vegan chocolate chips and 2 tablespoons plant-based milk together until smooth, stirring frequently.
  6. Pour the melted chocolate over the peanut butter mixture in each liner.
  7. Garnish with chopped peanuts (optional).
  8. Refrigerate for at least 6-8 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the cups to set completely before serving.
