How to Make No Bake Peanut Butter Cups

In a medium bowl, cream together 1/2 cup (1 stick) softened unsalted butter and 1 cup creamy peanut butter until smooth and creamy.
Gradually add 1 cup graham cracker crumbs and 1/2 cup powdered sugar, mixing well after each addition until a thick, spreadable mixture forms.
Press the peanut butter mixture evenly into a greased 9x13 inch baking pan.
In a microwave-safe bowl, melt 12 ounces of semi-sweet chocolate chips in 30-second intervals, stirring until completely smooth. Alternatively, melt the chocolate chips in a double boiler.
Pour the melted chocolate over the peanut butter layer and spread evenly.
Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the chocolate to set completely.
Once set, cut into small squares and serve. Enjoy!
