i can't fucking stop

those are vegan peanut butter cups and before you turn your nose up at them let me just tell u that they are retarded. and by retarded i mean fucking awesome. forget the bullshit nuts on top. they are a time waster and i don't need little nut nibs in my teeth dragging me down. nope. fuck em. not worth it.
do however make them. u will be so glad u did. and they are vegan and healthful and shit so u will feel inherently better about eating them.
i made them for christmas and i have had 2 every day since christmas. there is one left and i am hoping supermike eats it before i get to it. (that is a lie)
anyway..where was i? oh yes. FUCKING MAKE THESE!!
here is the recipe provided by cher aka alicia silverstone (with my modifications which i feel make them better):

INGREDIENTS
1⁄2 cup Earth Balance butter (u could use reg butter but let me tell u..earth balance is delicious)
3⁄4 cup crunchy peanut butter ( i used creamy-unsweetened, unsalted)
(preferably unsweetened and unsalted)
3⁄4 cup graham cracker crumbs or 10 graham cracker squares
1⁄4 cup maple sugar or other granulated sweetener ( i used maple sugar and i grinded it up with the graham crackers in the food processor b/c maple sugar granules are BIG- also maple sugar is crazy expensive but worth it)
1 cup grain-sweetened, nondairy chocolate or carob chips (fuck this bullshit too, grain sweetened choc chips are no where near as good as the reg and carob chips taste like dirty balls. but i make sure i use mostly dark chips with NO dairy or filler. whole foods 365 brand dark choc chips are what i used)
1⁄4 cup soy, rice, or nut milk ( i use so delicious brand unsweetened coconut milk in the dairy case at whole foods. it is perfect. but if u are into the dairy thing milk would work too)
1⁄4 cup chopped pecans, almonds, or peanuts (no thanks)

STEPS
Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners. (If You Care makes unbleached liners made from recycled paper.)
Set aside.
Melt the butter in a small saucepan over medium heat.
Stir in the peanut butter, graham cracker crumbs, and maple sugar and mix well. Remove the mixture from the heat.
Evenly divide the mixture, approximately 2 tablespoons per cup, among the muffin cups.
Combine the chocolate and milk in another pan.
Stir over medium heat until the chocolate has melted.
Spoon the chocolate evenly over the peanut butter mixture.
Top with chopped nuts.
Place in the refrigerator to set for at least 2 hours before serving.

ok..i have made these a few times and after the first time i learned the hard way that after u pour the peanut butter/graham cracker/earth balance mixture into the muffin tin FIRST refrigerate it so that it gets firm and chilled for about 30 minutes...THEN pour the chocolate mixture over it.

then chill according to the recipe.
