Homemade Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups.
Why bother. Right?
Wrong! These are so good! You will never buy them again!
Dare I say, they may be better than the real thing?
You don’t need the special mold as I show you in the video, but they are quite affordable if you want them to look like the real thing.
And Candyland Crafts will ship them to you worldwide!

You can of course make these easily in paper lined cupcake tins if you don’t want to spring for those molds.
In the video tutorial below I show you both ways to do it, so just take your pick!
These little candy’s take no more than an hour to make for a first time, and once you do it again you will get even faster!
These are seriously a fast, fun, delicious treat that can be made on a whim!
I am sure you already have at least 3 of the 4 ingredients listed and the 4th ingredient (graham crackers) can be left out!
I do like that addition though, that addition really makes this recipe so close to the real thing!
You will have to temper your chocolate though to make sure that it sets, since chocolate that is not tempered properly will not set correctly or could just stay melt-y and sticky and that will be no fun!

August 28, 2018 at 2:33 pmHi Rose! Thank you! You are totally correct! LOL not a good choice! Here is the direct link to Calleabaut since Amazon is not selling this particular one (yet) but also there is always Baker’s Brand which is easily found in most supermarkets.
