So move-over craft tutorials for a bit, because I have been getting creative in the kitchen like a madwoman.

I made the most delicious peanut butter cups. And they HAPPENED to be peanut-free. You can definitely make this recipe with real PB, but for all those allergics out there like me, you will be so surprised at how real these taste! I’ve tricked many a person with these babies!

Oooooh, Aaaaah. Now, let’s make these!

You only need 3 ingredients for these: Smooth peanut butter (I used wowbutter peanut-free PB which I bought from walmart), Icing sugar, and Chocolate chips (I used dairy-free chocolate chips, but you can use any…
