Boredom...

Webster's dictionary defines boredom as "the state of being weary and restless through lack of interest".  I define it as "the act of baking to fill the time in one's day which should normally be spent doing something of more importance, then eating said baked goods to take up (or waste) more time".  In other words, I'm bored today.  And what do I do when I'm bored?  I bake.  And then I eat.  Because why would a frugal being like myself want anything that I worked so hard on go to waste?  Especially if it tastes good!  So here is a recipe I created today and have filled much of my time today eating.  Anything involving chocolate and peanut butter is time well-spent, never wasted.  Enjoy!

Peanut Butter Boredom Cups (Gluten- and Dairy-Free)
*These are adapted from Alicia Silverstone's cookbook The Kind Diet.thekindlife.com

1/2 cup butter (I used 1/4 cup butter + 2 T. coconut oil + 2 T. coconut butter)
3/4 cup crunchy peanut butter (I used Peanut Butter & Co. Crunch Time)
3/4 cup cookie or graham cracker crumbs ( I used Annie's Gluten Free Cocoa & Vanilla Bunny Cookies)
1/4 cup sugar
1 cup chocolate chips
1/4 cup almond milk or milk of choice

Line a mini muffin tray with cupcake liners.  Melt butter in a small saucepan over medium heat.  Stir in peanut butter, cookie crumbs, and sugar and mix well.  Divide evenly among cupcake liners.  (Approx. 1 T. each).  Combine chocolate and milk in microwaveable bowl and microwave until melted.  Stir until smooth.  Top each peanut butter cup w/melted chocolate.  Refrigerate until set.  Store any leftovers in a closed container in the refrigerator.
