Easy to prepare and easy to eat! I make these often for holiday treats and they can also be frozen. These come out twice the size of regular Reeses cups. So yummy.

I like peanut butter cups, but was amazed at how good these really taste!! They taste better in my opinion than the name brand. And my 3 yr old daughter had a blast helping me make them, as well as putting her own sprinkles on top. I would definitely make again!

I'm not a fan of chocolate & peanut butter together, but my friends loved them & wanted the recipe.

I have made these peanut butter cups quite a few times! I really enjoy them! They taste better without the sprinkles but this is a personal preference. I make them at Christmas!

I have made these a couple of times now. My family loves them just as much as Reeses'. I no longer take the time to make individual cups. I spread half the chocolate mixture in a bar pan lined with wax paper sling. Chill the bar pan until the chocolate is set enough to spread on the peanut butter mixture. Spread on the remaining chocolate (it may have to be reheated). Then cut into pieces.

These were delicious and pretty simple. The filling is so tasty by itself! Just like Reese's. The hardest part was finding the right chocolate to peanut butter ratio. Mine did melt really easily in my hand, but that is my only complaint.

Can be easily poured into silicone molds. Skip the cups and it's much less time consuming. These were a hit. Did not modify the recipe at all.
These were a hit at potlucks. Very easy to make and can be poured into themed silicone molds for different occasions. Did not modify the recipe at all.
