Reese's Peanut Butter Cups

I also added marshmallows below the chocolate chips, made really awesome treats! Probably really fattening, probably really bad for you, rot your teeth out, etc. But, yum yum good! If you put them in the refrigerator though, they are hard to cut.

I make these all the time. I have found that it's best to use JIF peanut butter instead of the natural kind because it's stiffer/thicker. It's also better to use chocolate graham crackers. I find that using those two are important in making it tastes much like Reeses but also the texture holds up better. If anyone is having issues with their chocolate being too 'chocolately' simply melt a TB of peanut butter with it. Also, its fun to get creative with these. I've tried them in various shapes and sizes. One of my favorite, super easy treats!

I made these for dessert the other day. I personally don't like chocolate and pb together, so I didn't taste them. My mom said they were delectable though and DH's friend said they tasted just like a Reese's PB Cup. They were pretty easy to make, the only complaint I have, and the reason for only 4 stars, was that they were so hard to cut. I was only able to salvage a few because when I tried to cut them the chocolate "shattered". I'm not sure how to cure that. Next time I make these I might try to put them in mini muffin cups to avoid the broken chocolate. Thanks for posting!

I work at a summer camp for kids and at first I was hesitant to make these because I wasn't sure if they would get tired of the sweetness of them...let me tell you-they LOVED them! I made 3 batches of 36 bars and every single one of them was gone by the end of the day. In fact before leaving work I still heard kids asking me if I had any more and one child even asked me if he could lick the spoon!!! Needless to say, if you like Reeses you will love these excellent copycats. They are a bit sweet though, so have plenty of milk:-)

Very yummy. The only issue I had was cutting it up, and the chocolate didn't stick well to the pb mix.
But my little brothers loved it :)

SO easy to make and enjoyed by myself & my son. I had to break into pieces but that was fine with me. Thanks for sharing!

These are fantastic!!!! After I mix the peanut butter part together I chill the dough, take my melon ball scoop and make them into peanut butter balls. I then chill them again and dip the balls in the chocolate much easier (for me anyways;-) then cutting them into squares. It's also much easier for portion control too! Either way you wouldn't be sorry you made these. If you're a Reese's lover, as I am, you'll be in heaven. So what are you waiting for? Go get busy.

These were very simple to make and turned out delicious!! Cutting them before putting in the fridge to chill worked great. We doubled the recipe and made 32 in a 9x13" pan. Thanks Tonkcats!

This was very yummy! I used the recipe to get rid of some extra graham cracker crumbs and had to get creative with the chocolate topping (candy bars, etc.) since we had no chocolate chips! It was great and everybody loved it!

i love the taste, my DH and his friend are Reeses lovers and I brought a ball of the filling out to them and there eyes light up and they freaked out. They said it tasted just like PB cups! And after I dipped them in chocolate, I was told that I had out done Hershey!

Satisfies the sweet tooth, you only need a few bites unlike some desserts where you just keep wanting more. Will reduce amount of powdered sugar and chocolate and increase pb next time for a more pb taste (my own personal preference) and to help combat the slight crumbliness. Put leftovers in freezer for a cold treat later!

This was a great recipe for making PB cups! I did adjust the recipe a little, as I wanted something a bit more pure in peanut butter taste. I used 1 cup powdered sugar, 1 cup creamy PB and cut the butter down to 1/4 cup. For the chocolate I used a blend of Ghiradelli candy coating and Callebaut milk chocolate. To make PB cups- 1)) spoon a line of PB mix onto sheets of wax paper and roll into a skinny uniform log, about 3/4 inches in diameter and freeze. 2)) Meanwhile line a mini muffin tin with #4 or #5 size brown candy cups. Pipe or spoon just enough chocolate to cover the bottoms, then shake the pan a little to smooth out evenly. 3)) Chill chocolate pan for 10 minutes in the fridge or until hard. 4)) Cut 1/2 inch slices from PB log, place on top of hardened chocolate in candy cups, then fill the rest of candy cup with melted chocolate. Shake pan a little to even out chocolate and chill.

Excellent! I took smltheppl's advice and decreased the amount of powdered sugar... I used 1 1/3 cups and the result was fabulous! I also would recommend unsalted butter. Way to go Tonkcats!!!

Very good! I did mine a little different. I melted the chocolate chips and spread on the bottom and sides of a pie tin...(freeze) then spread on the peanut buttery goodness and then melted another round of chocolate chips and spread. A giant peanut butter cup! Also, next time i'll definitely use dipping chocolate instead of chocolate chips.

This is a very easy recipe and even though it isn't EXACTLY like a Reese's, it's as close as I've found. Thanks for a really DEE..LISH recipe.

By the time I finished with it I thought it was at least four stars, but I had a great deal of trouble with the bottom part. The first time I made it, the bottom was a big crumbly mess. I had to pry the chocolate off, melt more butter and add it to the bottom mixture, remixed it up and re-pressed it back into the dish, I scraped the dry bits off the back of the chocolate I pried off, remelted it and re-spread it. After all that, they were really good, and went like wild fire at the office.
