Peanut butter cups (dairy Free)

This is one of our families favorite desserts. They are easy to make, super yummy and we made it a tradition to make them and take them to the boys that we liked in high school and even in college! 

My mom has posted two varieties of them. The original recipe was the first post and a fun coconut variety was the second post.

I had to do a Dairy free variety because they are my favorite! I actually have two though because I loved the ones made with Coconut peanut butter. I cut the recipe in half because the original recipe makes so much!

*Statement from Ghirardelli about dairy, "Thank you for contacting Ghirardelli Chocolate. In response to your inquiry, Ghirardelli does not consider any of our chocolate products to be vegan. Our Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips do not contain a dairy ingredient; however they do share a line with chocolate products which do contain either whole milk powder or a milk fat. Our lines are cleaned and flushed between the changing of one flavor to the next."  My son does not react to the Chocolate but you have to use your own discretion.
