My mom passed along a recipe she cut out advertising a new recipe book by Alicia Silverstone (she purchased the book so didn't need the cutout). Silverstone has conquered her weight issues and eats not only healthy, but vegan. I have no idea if you can actually call these Peanut Butter Cups "healthy" or not, but I will say that they do not have anything too bad in them (adding sugar to anything usually means your crossing the line from healthy to not-so-much in my book...but who am I to talk?). Despite the fact that I had two little helpers, stirring, scooping and sprinkling, this was a very, very easy dessert to make.
Peanut Butter Cups
1/2 cup Smart Balance
3/4 cup crunchy organic peanut butter (no salt or sugar added)
3/4 cup graham cracker crumbs
1/4 cup sugar
1 cup semi sweet organic chocolate chips
1/4 cup soy milk
1/4 cup walnuts (chopped)
Melt butter in small saucepan.
Stir in peanut butter, graham crackers, sugar.
Remove from heat.
Divide evenly in Demarle mini muffin tray.
Melt chocolate chips and soy milk together.
Spoon over peanut mixture.
Top with walnuts.
Refrigerate for 2 hours.
As much as I love my mom, I'm a little bit hating her right now...because my stomach hurts from eating 4 of these things in a row! Can peanut butter cups be healthy? How about just no calories?? Yeah...didn't think so.

You always make a recipe look better than the picture! This looks delish and I can't wait to try it when I get back from vacation. If you ate 4 then I will probably devour the entire recipe!
