Categories     dessert

Time 2h5m

Yield 12 pieces

Number Of Ingredients 4

1 cup peanut butter
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup powdered sugar
1 (12-ounce) package Hershey's milk chocolate chips

Steps:

  • In a small bowl, mix the peanut butter, salt and powdered sugar until firm. Slowly melt the chocolate chips in a double boiler over hot, not boiling, water. You may also melt them in a microwave oven set on high for 2 minutes, stirring halfway through the heating time. Grease the muffin tin cups and spoon some chocolate into each cup, filling halfway. With a spoon, draw the chocolate up the edges of each cup until all sides are coated. Cool in the refrigerator until firm. Spread some of the peanut butter onto the chocolate in each cup, leaving room for the final chocolate layer. Cool the cups again to firm up the peanut butter. Pour some chocolate onto the top of each candy and spread it to the edges. Let sit at room temperature, or covered in the refrigerator. Turn out of the pan when firm.

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Categories     dessert

Time 50m

Yield 10 to 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

Nonstick cooking spray, for the pan
18 ounces milk chocolate, chopped (about 2 1/2 cups)
1 cup smooth peanut butter
1/2 cup confectioners' sugar
1/3 cup saltine crackers, finely crushed (about 10)
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, at room temperature
Pinch kosher salt
1 1/2 cups candy-coated peanut butter candy, such as Reese's Pieces

Steps:

  • Spray a 9-inch tart pan with cooking spray. Melt the chocolate in the top of a double boiler (alternatively, use a heatproof bowl set over-- not in-- a pot of simmering water). Keep the chocolate warm over low heat until ready to use.
  • Add the peanut butter, confectioners' sugar, saltines, butter and salt to a large bowl and blend with an electric mixer on medium speed until well combined. Fold in the candy-coated peanut butter candy.
  • Pour half of the chocolate into the prepared pan. Freeze until the chocolate is set and hardened, about 10 minutes.
  • Spread the peanut butter mixture over the chocolate in the pan with an offset spatula, leaving a 1/2-inch border around the edge. Pour the remaining chocolate over the peanut butter, spreading it over the top so it drips into the open border and no filling is visible. Freeze until set, about 10 minutes. Serve at room temperature.

Reese's Peanut Butter Cup Cake Pops image

If you are a peanut butter lover....you will adore these delicious little treats. Every time I make these folks are asking for more! These are time consuming to make, but you make almost 2 dozen at a time and people love to get these as gifts. The more you practice making them, the faster you will become at it. Good Luck!

Categories     Desserts

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 box(es) cake mix, devils food or yellow cake mix
1 can(s) cream cheese frosting
3/4 cup(s) reese's peanut butter, creamy
3 - regular sized reese's peanut butter cups (melted)
2 package(s) dark chocolate melts-you can also use peanut butter melts
24 - cake pop sticks (michael's sells these in the aisle with the cupcake liners)
24 - lollipop bag
24 - 6" pieces of decorative ribbon to tie bottom of bags
4 - ground up butterfingers bars or various decorative sprinkles
1 - large styrofoam block or a large box flipped over on its top with 24 holes punched into it (use a screw driver to do this)

Steps:

  • You can either make your own vanilla or devil's food cake from scratch or if time is short you can make a store bought mix. Follow box directions and add 1/2-3/4 of a cup of creamy peanut butter. You can add more or less depending on how strong you like it. Allow to cool completely.
  • Once cooled, crumble the cake with a fork into small pieces. Melt 3 regular size or 6 small Reese's peanut butter cups in the microwave in 30 second increments. Do not substitute any other type of peanut butter cup. The flavor will not be the same!
  • Add the slightly cooled peanut butter cups to 3/4 of a cup of your own home made cream cheese frosting and gently incorporate into the cake crumbs. Mix with a spoon until frosting is completely combined with cake. You can use 3/4 of a cup of store bought cream cheese frosting. Either will work.
  • Roll mixture into half dollar size balls and place on wax paper covered cookie sheet. (Should make 20-24).
  • Place them in the freezer for a little while to firm up (at least a few hours). Ideally you will want to plan ahead and leave them in the freezer overnight. They are so much easier to deal with then.
  • Before you take the cake pops out of the freezer, melt chocolate (you will need 2 packages for this many cake pops) in the microwave per directions on package. (30 sec intervals, stirring in between). I like to use the dark chocolate, but you can also use the peanut butter flavored melts. Merckens makes the best, but Wilton's will work too. You can buy them online at:http://www.streichs.com/Chocolates/Merckens-Candy-Melts-1lb.html
  • Once you are ready to begin,remove cake pops from freezer. Dip the tip of your lollipop stick in a little of the melted candy coating and insert into the cake balls. (Insert about half way.)
  • Once firm, carefully insert the cake ball into the candy coating by holding the lollipop stick and (using a spoon) pour the melted chocolate over the cake pop until covered. Coat them twice and make sure to make a complete seal around the entire cake pop. Especially the base when the stick was inserted. Once covered, rotate until the excess chocolate falls off. Don't tap too hard or the cake ball will fall off as well!
  • When the chocolate is almost set, sprinkle the top half of the cake pop with ground up butter finger candy bars, finely chopped peanut butter cups, or orange and brown decorative sprinkles.
  • Using a styrofoam block set in a box or flip a large size box over and punch holes in it with a screw driver, set them in the block or box to dry. Do not place them in the block until they are almost set, otherwise you will get a big chocolate mess!
  • Once completely set, you can use the smaller lollipop bags and decorative ribbon to cover them. I like to coordinate the ribbon with the type of cake pop. I used brown and orange striped ribbon for my peanut butter cake pops. Enjoy!

TASTES LIKE REESE'S® CHOCOLATE-FILLED PEANUT BUTTER CUPCAKES



Tastes Like Reese's® Chocolate-Filled Peanut Butter Cupcakes image

My sister and her friends were over when I made these imitation Reese's® peanut butter cup cupcakes, and they disappeared! Recipe is borrowed from the Jell-O® website, but I didn't want to make the cakes peanut butter and jelly, so I went for peanut butter and chocolate instead.

Provided by rileybrat

Time 1h15m

Yield 24

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 (18.25 ounce) package white cake mix
1 cup cold water
½ cup creamy peanut butter
1 (3.4 ounce) package instant vanilla pudding mix (such as Jell-O®)
3 large eggs
2 ½ cups confectioners' sugar
3 tablespoons milk, or more as needed
3 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder, or to taste
2 teaspoons cornstarch, or more to taste

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line two 12-cup muffin pans with paper liners.
  • Combine cake mix, cold water, peanut butter, pudding mix, and eggs in a large bowl; beat with an electric mixer until smooth. Spoon into the prepared muffin cups.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted in the centers comes out clean, 18 to 21 minutes. Cool in the pans for 5 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack and let cool completely, about 25 more minutes.
  • When the cupcakes are almost fully cooled, stir confectioners' sugar and milk together in a bowl. Add cocoa and cornstarch and stir until desired consistency; eyeballing it works well for icing.
  • Cut out a square in the top of each cooled cupcake. Fill with icing.

REESE'S PEANUT BUTTER CUP FILLING



Reese's Peanut Butter Cup Filling image

Homemade recipe for the inside of Reese's cup, so you can make you own at home! [which are so much tastier!] I'd recommend using bitter sweet or milk chocolate, and using a peanut butter cup mold, which you can buy pretty cheaply at Joann's or other craft/kitchen supply stores. And if you don't have powdered sugar, you can blend regular white sugar in a coffee grinder

Tips:

  • To ensure that your cake pops are properly coated in chocolate, make sure the chocolate is melted and smooth before dipping the cake balls.
  • If you want to achieve a more even coating, use a fork or toothpick to help spread the chocolate evenly over the cake balls.
  • To prevent the chocolate from hardening too quickly, keep it in a warm place, such as a double boiler or a microwave-safe bowl set over a pan of simmering water.
  • If you want to add sprinkles or other decorations to your cake pops, do so immediately after dipping them in chocolate, while the chocolate is still wet.
  • To make sure the cake pops are completely set, refrigerate them for at least 30 minutes before serving.

Conclusion:

These Reese's Peanut Butter Cup Cake Pops are an easy and delicious treat that is perfect for any occasion.
