My mom helped me post this recipe. These candies are like Reese's Peanut Butter Cups and are fun for kids to make because you don't have to cook them. My mom and I made these together.

    These got great reviews at work and they were so easy! Just minutes, really! The general opinion was that they tasted like Reese's PB cups. I used the vanilla and graham crackers, Reese's brand pb, and Ghiradelli chocolate. I kept them frozen until served. They got sticky fast as they warmed up and melted, which didn't slow down how fast they disappeared, btw. Thanks Ali in Cali!

    These were very good! I'm really glad that I tried them! I had to use crunchy peanut butter as that is all that I had on hand. I used milk chocolate for the dipping and sprinkled some with some icing sugar for an added effect. Very tasty!! Thanks for posting! - Christina

    Wow!! These are wonderful! I can't believe how easy they are. I used creamy peanut butter, and dipped them in semi-sweet and milk chocolate. That way everybody got their favorite.I put them on a cookie sheet lined with wax paper to set. So easy and so good. Thanks for a great recipe. It will get a lot of use!
