Peanut butter cups recipe!

Here is an awsome recipe for peanut butter cups from Alicia Silverstone's book "A kind diet". These are soooooo awesome! Something that a man had said on one of Oprah's shows stuck with me. He said it was alright to eat the foods that you want as long as you make it from scratch. If you want french fries, make them from scratch. You are not going to want to do this everyday because it can be a pain in the butt. So after hearing that it, it is so true. I LOVE peanut butter cups but it is not something I would make everyday. So if I make this recipe once a month, I still get my fill on my peanut butter cups but it is not as bad as going to the store and grabing one everyday. I also make these in the small muffin pan so they are about a third of the size. My kids love these as well.
