Reece's Peanut Butter Cups

[ChrissyB]

Hi Everyone
In my family, we are all huge fans of reece's peanut butter cups. But they are quite difficult to get over here, there is one shop I've found that has them, but not all the time. I did a google search to find some recipes to make them myself, it seems that there are quite a few, some have the biscuit base, some are just the peanut butter and chocolate.
Has anyone made these themselves and have a recipe that they would care to share?
My stomach thanks you in anticipation but my butt does not!!

If you can find a recipe for peanut butter balls they are quite similar to the reese's cups. The yummy peanut butter middle is made by adding confectioners sugar to your peanut butter then roll them into a ball and coat them in bakers chocolate.

I concur!
I have sort-of made them years ago, using the "candy cup" style plastic molds and "candy melts" (which over here are basically little discs of chocolate you can buy in craft stores).

Just like the peanut butter balls (which are Fabulous) we used powdered or confectioners sugar mixed with the jarred peanut butter to make the filling a bit smoother.

Have fun playing around with it, and tons of fun tasting the trials!!!
