Homemade Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups

Author: Jessica

Ingredients

  • Peanut Butter Filling
  • 2 ¼ cups peanut butter Jiffy or Skippy are my favorites
  • 1 ¾ cups confectioner's sugar
  • 5 tbs unsalted butter
  • 4-5 tablespoon milk
  • Chocolate Coating
  • 2 bags semi-sweet chocolate
  • 1 tablespoon shortening

Instructions

  • 1. Prepare your muffin tins with liners and set aside.
  • 2. Melt the chocolate chips in microwave at 30 second intervals until mixable and smooth.
  • 3. Mix in the shortening until it is melted and everything comes together smooth.
  • 4. Pour a little bit of the chocolate mixture into your liners about half of ¼ of the way up (I tell you the different techniques for different results above) and put in freezer for 10 minutes.
  • 5. While that's in the freezer, start whipping together your peanut butter and butter until light and fluffy.
  • 6. Add in the confectioner's sugar until combined. It may look crumbly but will smooth out once the milk is added.
  • 7. Add 4-5 tablespoons of milk and mix until smooth and to the consistency you want. I like mine to be pliable almost like a really soft dough so it is easier to mold. If you find you need more milk add a tablespoon at a time.
  • 8. Once your peanut butter mixture is ready, take your frozen chocolate out of the freezer. Roll a ball of peanut butter in your hands and flatten out on top of the chocolate.
  • 9. Pour some more chocolate on top of the peanut butter layer and bang on a flat surface to get it to flatten out on its own.
  • 10. Freeze for 15 minutes. Take them out of the freezer, unwrap and eat them up!
