Yummy Peanut Buttery

Mini Peanut Butter Cup Cookies

This one came from a neighbor. She gave it to me at my bridal shower. You'll need a bag of Reeses Mini Peanut Butter Cups for the final step.

1/2 cup of sugar
1/2 cup of brown sugar
1/2 cup of butter softened

Cream together and then blend in:

1/2 cup of peanut butter
2 tablespoons of milk
1 teaspoon of vanilla
1 egg

Stir in:

1 3/4 cups of flour
1 teaspoon of baking soda
1/2 teaspoon of salt

Bake in a mini muffin pan or a regular muffin pan. Line the pan with muffin liners or spray well with cooking spray. Bake at 375 for 6-8 minutes. Immediately after removing from oven press an unwrapped mini peanut butter cup in the middle of each cookie.

No-Bake Chocolate Peanut Butter Bars

Beat in a large mixing bowl until creamy:

1 1/4 cup of peanut butter
3/4 cup of butter

Gradually beat in:
1 cup of powdered sugar

Then with hands or a wooden spoon mix in:

1 more cup of powdered sugar
3 cups of graham cracker crumbs

Press evenly into a prepared pan. It helps if you use wax paper to press it in.

Melt:

3/4 cup of peanut butter
12 oz package of Chocolate chips

You can take 1/2 a cup of the chocolate chips-- before you melt them-- and add it to the crust. The recipe says to do it, and you would do it before you press it into the pan, but I personally prefer the crust without the chocolate chips.

Pour the melted mixture on top of the crust and then place in the fridge for at least an hour.
