love this
loved this recipe. love some peanut butter.
So easy to make and so delicious.
It was awesome
No changes, will make again with changes. I used paper liners in my mini pans and found the tablespoon of chocolate was too much. The peanut butter spilled out when the other layer went on. They looked nothing like the photo. There taste was delicious.
Just curious….how does adding graham cracker crumbs make them more Reeses? Reeses doesn’t have them in them!!
Yup I made changes, I made changes to adjust to my family’s tastes. Most people already know if they like semi sweet , dark or milk chocolate. so ok, make changes, but if you make changes ( butterscotch or white chocolate in particular), and then the recipes doesnt work, not the recipes fault. If they do work, thats great! all that said, my changes are Milk chocolate, and confectioners sugar in the peanut butter. dont forget a a little cooking spray in the mini muffin cups, this is a great easy base recipe
I have been making these for years. At Christmas I make fudge, lots of fudge and chocolates. These are the favourites. I, like many, use milk chocolate and I was surprised to see that the peanut butter is melted. I have always used a creamy peanut butter and just spooned some in over the bottom chocolate and it settles in nicely. I was intrigued to see in some of the comments that graham wafer crumbs and confectioners sugar are added to the peanut butter and I think I will give that a try this year. Also, I have never used the oil or butter and I don’t think I will. All in all, it is a great recipe and they will disappear very quickly.
I have been using this recipe since 2007 it is now 2015 and my husband just loves them however I use the candy making chocolate disk from Pat Catans and I add powder sugar to the peanut butter. Amazingly good peanut butter cups!!!!!
These were just so-so. The semi-sweet chocolate didn’t taste right. If this was supposed to be a clone recipe, it missed the mark. Next time I will use milk chocolate.
Added some powdered sugar to the filling. Result is AMAZINg, I already know I will have a tough time not eating them all at once. Quick and easy to make.
SOO EASY! My 4 year old and I can whip these up in a jiffy. They are so tasty and will disappear fast. They do melt in your hands while you eat them. I might lower the amount of butter to see if that will help.
They were really easy to make, but there wasn’t enough chocolate, so I made about 50% more. They tasted absolutley delicious, and they really were gone in minutes!
a little rich but pretty good for the amount of time it takes!
These were so pretty and we ate them all! But there was not enough peanut butter and I would do it different next time by using chunky peanut butter and letting the first layer cool before adding peanut butter and so on. Fun to make.
This was a good, quick, easy recipe to follow. I will say one thing, I advise that you use a teaspoon for the chocolate. I ran out. I also ran out of peanut butter. If you’re a peanut butter lover like me, you’ll have to heat more. Also, when I ran out of chocolate and was microwaving more, I forgot the butter and vegetable oil. It wound up becoming like those Betty Crocker microwaveable cakes. I recommend using the double boil system with a heat resistant bowl over a pot of hot water. I’m adding a customized version of this if anyone is interested.
fun to make!!
Awesome!! 🙂 I used the ‘Fluffy Peanut Butter Frosting’ recipe as the middle filling, just made it more creamy than it calls for by adding extra milk! DELICIOUS! Also I suggest using REAL peanut butter if you want it to taste more like the Reeses! The real peanut butter has the grittyness to it without needing to add the graham cracker crumbs! 🙂 🙂 Thanks for the recipe!! 🙂
These are good, but for the cost of ingredients and amount of effort I think we will just buy them premade…just my family’s opinion.
I substituted SoyNut butter for the peanut butter due to my son’s nut allergy. Verrrry easy to make! Thanks so much for the recipe! Now, my boys can have a safe alternative to Reeses. 🙂 They loved them!!!
Very yummy and easy. I mixed confectioner’s sugar and butter with the peanut butter to make it more creamy and easy to pour. Skip the oil altogether. And instead of chocolate chips, I used candy coating from the store, the ones you use to make chocolate candy. Perfect.
