I'm a huge supporter of wedding favors. I really think you need to give them. And not a donation en lieu of favors. Actual favors. Because sometimes, you don't send your thank you cards out for three to six months (and honestly, I went to a wedding three years ago and the couple still hasn't sent out cards, so I'm giving up on ever getting that one).
So you should at least give something on your wedding day with a thank you. A few chocolates in a bag with a thank you sticker, maybe, or these homemade peanut butter squares wedding favors.
I generally wouldn't suggest making your own wedding favors, if you can help it. They can be very time consuming, and you just don't always have time during wedding week.
These peanut butter squares are insanely easy though. You can totally make them during wedding week. That's not the problem. The problem is making sure you don't eat them all before your wedding.

Melt 1 cup of the chocolate chips in the microwave.
Pour the melted chips into a foil-lined 8x8-inch pan. Spread them using an icing knife. Try and make the layer as even as possible.
Put the pan in the freezer for about five minutes. While that's cooling, measure the peanut butter. Put it in the microwave for between 30 seconds and one minute, just to make it a little softer.
Mix in the powdered sugar.
Take the pan out from the freezer and pour in the peanut butter mixture. Again, using an icing knife, spread it out and try to make this layer as even as possible as well.
Put the pan in the freezer for a few minutes (five is good, less is okay).
Melt the second cup of chocolate chips. Pour it on top of the peanut butter and spread that out evenly as well (yes, using an icing knife).
Put the pan in the freezer until it hardens completely. When it does, cut it into squares. I like to make 1-inch squares, so you can get 64 squares per tray. If you get a small treat bag that will fit four per bag, this makes 16 favors.
Save the squares in an airtight container in the fridge and continue making treats until you have enough for each of your guests.
When you're ready, put the squares in a bag, add a small thank you sticker, and that's the perfect wedding favor.
