The best dessert of my life!

So...now that I am done with school, I thought, how nice it is going to be to have so much free time on my hands.  Ya, well for some reason I am obsessed with starting new ventures. I have started two writing projects to which I will elaborate on in the future.  And...I have found another time consuming activity, baking! Besides the fact that me and Jordon are gaining weight at rapid speed, it has been quite an experience! I have gone through batches and batches of everything trying to get recipes right.  And I have found the best dessert that I have ever made, and it is so stinking easy! I took the base of the recipe from a book I have by Alicia Silverstone and then tweaked it a bit... It took three times to perfect it...but I think I got it: here goes!
Homemade PB cups...
*3 TBSP of Butter (Earth Balance works best and is a lot healthier, do not use "I can't believe its not butter" or anything with a strong taste).
*1 Cup Peanut Butter, I use half creamy, half chunky...whatever your preference, or whatever you have around.
*1 Cup Crushed Gramcrackers...plain ones
*1/3 cup Sugar..use pure cane sugar or anything thats gritty, works the best :)
*Half a bag of Chocolate chips...dark or milk (Dark is really rich/ Milk is light)
* Splash of Milk
Add butter to a small pot and melt.  Add in peanut butter, sugar and gramcrackers. Here is where you have to do the magic.  The mixture should be gritty and chunky and brown like PB...add more of whatever you want. I love PB, so I always end up putting in more and more in. Taste it and if it tastes like butter (not good), then add a lot of the other stuff... Spoon out into lined muffin tin. (Makes about 12, at about two spoonfuls of the mixture in each.  However, if you want huge ones, make 8 and put in more!)  Place in the freezer for about an 30 minutes, or until somewhat hardened.
Next melt chocolate chips in a small pot and add a few splashes of milk to make it creamy.  Drizzle on the top of the PB cups...freeze for about an hour and then viola! yummy! (It may take a couple times to find your perfect combo!
