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.

REESE'S PEANUT BUTTER CUPS (COPYCAT)



Reese's Peanut Butter Cups (Copycat) image

This recipe is from Todd Wilbur's "Top Secret Recipes" (www.TopSecretRecipes.com). In heaven there must be a special place for those of us who love peanut butter & chocolate. This recipe has no added butter like many other copycat recipes. You will need a muffin tin, preferably with shallow cups, but the regular size will work if filled only halfway. Times are a guess-timate and do not include cooling and firming time.

Time 25m

Yield 12 cups, 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 4

1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup peanut butter
1/3 cup confectioners' sugar
12 ounces milk chocolate chips

Steps:

  • In a small bowl, mix the salt, peanut butter and powdered sugar until firm.
  • Melt the chocolate chips in a double boiler over hot, not boiling water (OR you can melt them in the microwave for about two minutes, stirring midway).

  • With the back of a spoon, draw the chocolate up the edges of each cup until all sides are coated.
  • Cool in the refrigerator until firm.

  • Let sit at room temperature or covered in the refrigerator.
  • Turn out of pan when firm.

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.

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

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

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
