as a non american, reese's are by far my favorite american candy, and they don't have any dupes where i live, so i'm definitely trying this!! thanks emmy!!!
They are definitely closer to Reese's when you add the graham cracker crumbs! My daughter just used animal crackers instead and said they were great, too!
Great idea to melt the chocolate right in the piping bag! No kidding, that's a genius level idea. Saves time, dishes, and in the end it saves ingredients since you never get it all when transfer. Perfect.
I have made my own candy for over 30 years. Found the Reese's peanut butter recipe on line years ago. Make them every year at Christmas and Easter. Yum 😋
I never really thought about what makes Reese‘s peanut butter taste so unique, but now that I’m thinking about it, I agree that it has a saltiness to it. Will you be making any more retro recipes? I’ve requested this one before, but my granny used to make these “crab delights” with Old English cheese in a jar. She was the absolute BEST! She never purchased cook books, but I have specific memories of her cutting recipes out of magazines and taping them to spiral notebook pages. Those became her custom cookbooks. She passed away 14 years ago, but last year my grandpa gave me most of those cookbooks. 🥰
I have made these in candy molds many times for holidays like Valentines Day and birthdays. I like using the paper cups instead. Good tip! I totally agree about the texture and milk choc in the store bought candies is less than desirable. I also prefer darker chocolate! I love your enthusiasm for cooking and I enjoy your channel!
Yum! Who dug through their Halloween candy and the Christmas stocking candy to hide and protect the peanut butter cup hoard, hand raise!🙋♂️🙋♀️🙋 These look very good. I like the dark chocolate too! Maybe 1/2 the batch in dark and one half the batch in milk chocolate. Or make each cup half and half, dark on the bottom, milk chocolate on the top. Soooo many choices!
Those look delicious. I have always detected a hint of honey in original Reese's peanut butter, and it seems like they make a fudge recipe rather than a no bake. You are on the right track with the salt. I have wondered in the past if they use salted roasted peanuts for a specific peanut butter recipe other than their regular jar peanut butter to keep people off the scent of their secrets. This video makes me want to experiment...lol. Great video, thank you for sharing.
I've been making these for 20 years, but as bars in a 9x13 pan! With my eldest, I craved peanut butter. My aunt freaked me out, saying my baby would be allergic to peanuts. His first taste was when he was 13 months old and stole my sandwich at a picnic in the middle of nowhere. Thankfully, no reaction and he's been a PB addict for 23 years!
Yum. Incidently if it's tempered chocolate which I believe this is.. no need to refrigerate. It'll set up oit of the fridge. You can tell it's tampered by the snap and not glassy when hard. It also won't melt on your fingers. Looks so great
They look so good. Reese's peanut butter cups are my favorite. Thank you for sharing your recipe. BTW I love your hair long. It looks very nice. Merry Christmas 🎄💜
I bought a bag of Reese's peanut butter miniature cups. I wasn't checking the size of the bag on Amazon and when it arrived, I was dumbfounded to find it was almost 2 lbs! It was a ridiculous price too, less than $13 but the seller no longer offers them. I did post a picture on my Amazon review and the bag was bigger than both of my hands. I got so 🤢 that I gave a friend half the bag. Had I known what a deal I was getting, I would have ordered more for Christmas gifts. Chocolate and peanut butter or bacon and peanut butter are my favourite combos.
Peanut butter (and lots of other things) are measured in ounces of weight, not ounces of volume. So a 16 oz container of peanut butter, or sour cream, or salsa, or whatever is not the same thing as two (US) cups or 16 oz of volume.
@@quixxovel that only works out when the stuff you're measuring is water. Otherwise it's most likely NOT a pound, no matter where in the world you are. A pint of water does not weigh the same thing as a pint of flour (or a pint of peanut butter, or yogurt, or...)
From what I can find, it's pretty close. The most common value I find is 1.095X that of water. But it likely varies with the brand and type of peanut butter.
These look SO good! 😍 I love how easy you made it look-definitely going to try making these! The saltiness of the peanut butter is totally what makes Reese’s so amazing, and I can already tell these are going to be just perfect. Also, I totally love the dark chocolate version, way better than milk chocolate IMO! Can’t wait to give these a shot-thanks for the recipe! 🎉
I'm open to some crunch in a homemade peanut butter cup. As an adult, I'm not a fan of the harsh edge / preservative flavor of reeses cups, but I still love the super soft texture of the center with the tiniest bit of snap at the edges. It seems like that comes down to getting a super thin layer of chocolate on top & bottom, which might not be easy to do at home.
Another tip if you don't have a piping bag, just melt the chocolate chips in the bag they came in, in a bowl of hot water (helps prevent scorching the chocolate in the microwave) then cut the corner of the bag off. You can also do this with chocolate bars.
Thanks Emmy! I also recently discovered the UNREAL brand and their peanut butter cups are so much better than Reccess. They use dark chocolate and better ingredients, delicious!
Oh my 🤤😋 My favorite candy! Thank you for the video Emmy 🙏🏽😄 Wishing you and yours a beautiful Merry Christmas and a Very Happy New Years. Thank you for all the joy and knowledge you bring. ❤️
I used to have a recipe for peanut butter cups and made them a few times. Recipe not like this one, but it's been too long and I don't remember exactly. I just remember the chocolate was mixed with paraffin wax (no, it won't kill you). Anyway, I've lost all my recipes. This one looks much easier. Looks very good!
In the early 70's, I was around 13yrs old and took a Candy Making Class at the YMCA and we made the PB Cups with paraffin also. I still have the recipe in my kid writing!
I think I'd make them with a mix of natural and standard peanut butter.The gritty texture of natural PB makes me think of a Reese's more than Skippy. Reese's is salt, grit and a little tang
I tried the jarred Reese's peanut butter and was very disappointed. I like Jif best. I've noticed that Jif lists molasses as one of the ingredients and am convinced that is what elevates the flavor. 🥜
They're actually is a difference between texture and whatever else you like between peanut butter. What do they actually use at Reese's cuz I know it has a lot of salt and sugar in it. Or do thst make their own in-house or do they use a manufacturing brand? I always wondered that.
Peanut butter is sold by weight. That 16 oz. jar of Jig was a pound of peanut butter. Still have to measure if a specific volume is needed for a recipe.
You should test if adding coffee powder to baked chocolate goods actually makes it taste better, always see it in recipes but I feel like it makes no difference
Hi I'm new to your channel in the last few days and I already have a question. I'm also new to diabetes and looking for diabetic friendly simple recipes.
Use proper peanut butter instead of the rubbish kind. If you need to sweeten it you can easily do that, but the big upside is that you can get proper good quality peanuts and that's worth a lot for the end product.
About the peanut child hood opinion I’m actually similar. I didn’t like it that much on its own. In time I’ve come to realize it was cause of my younger esophagus. It’s very easy to choke and block your throat as a child. As an adult I can take a whole spoon of peanut and am only slightly likely to choke.
What's your favorite peanut butter combo?
I'll go first: CHOCOLATE!!!💀
Apples!
I mean, I love it with chocolate also but you already listed that.
Peanut butter and candy corn melted together then coated in chocolate tastes like a butterfinger.
Chocolate 🍫
jam. yum.
as a non american, reese's are by far my favorite american candy, and they don't have any dupes where i live, so i'm definitely trying this!! thanks emmy!!!
Glad to hear you thought about the teachers. Every year fewer parents show appreciation at Christmas. It’s a small gesture that means a lot.
The sound when you bit into the chocolate - NUMMY! That crunch from cold chocolate. what a fun little treat!
I make almost the same thing all the time, but I add in graham cracker crumbs to get the slightly gritty texture of a Reese’s 😋
They are definitely closer to Reese's when you add the graham cracker crumbs! My daughter just used animal crackers instead and said they were great, too!
I add graham crackers to mine too! 🤤
yes! That's a key part!
Great idea to melt the chocolate right in the piping bag! No kidding, that's a genius level idea. Saves time, dishes, and in the end it saves ingredients since you never get it all when transfer. Perfect.
I have made my own candy for over 30 years. Found the Reese's peanut butter recipe on line years ago. Make them every year at Christmas and Easter. Yum 😋
I literally just sat down from making Reese’s peanut butter cups! And now this pops up…. I feel stalked but will now try this recipe.😂😂
it’s a sign to make some more 😋
I like the snap that you dont det with Resses. One of my favorites that use peanut butter and chocolate are buckeyes.
I never really thought about what makes Reese‘s peanut butter taste so unique, but now that I’m thinking about it, I agree that it has a saltiness to it.

Thank you the piping bag chocolate melting tip! Whodathunkit? Now I want to try and make this recipe. Merry Christmas Emmy! 😋
Yum thanks! I was thinking well I love TJs dark chocolate ones and you say these are better so I’ll give it a try!
"There needs to be an element of "processyness" to it.". Girl nailed it! 😂 If it tastes good for you than you're doing it wrong!
I’ll probably make these soon. I LOVE peanut butter and chocolate 🍫.
It’s don’t suppose to have a crunch the real Reese are soft not crunchy. I prefer the soft

Not a fan of reese's but everyone else in my family loves them. Going to try this recipe. Thank you for sharing!
Maybe mix milk & dark chocolate wafers? I think homemade PB might be good, as it’s slightly less smooth. That would take more time, though.
❤ Simply Delicious ❤. The peanut butter cups look great too...
I'm so excited about this!
Melting the chocolate in the piping bag is genius! Thank for sharing that brilliant idea. 😃
Awesome idea 💡

Here’s a thought…bacon wrapped peanut butter cups!?
We make these every Christmas just don’t use the muffin liners. We just coat the peanut butter balls in chocolate. 🍫
We call those Buckeyes here.
oh wowl! I'm early! I've been watching you since before the days of bugmas! 😲 both my daughter and myself love you so much!
Awesome video, Emmy! Great job implementing the little balls! of peanut 🥜 butter into the cups 😊
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to you and your family Emmy.

Emmy should know about the OZ confusion.
@@boomzilla86 I mean, it's close enough that the recipe still worked, but depending on the recipe and the ingredient that's not always the case.
If you keep actual reeses PBCs in the freezer, they gain a snap factor, but the rest of the time they are a bit on the soft side... :P
Thank you for this recipe! Where did you get your microwaveable piping bags? I've never seen those. Love your channel!
I was wondering about that too
Amazon sells microwaveable piping bags for chocolate👌🏾
@@JoyceDee Thank you!

New intro music!! Love it so much better than the usual tune!
Emmy, you created Perfection!!
I'm definitely going to try this!! I'll try subbing the corn syrup for agave nectar ❤

We made almost exactly this recipe in home ec when I was in middle school! I haven't thought about that in so long lol

@@lbednaz YES! Thank you very much!
Happy holidays everyone.
Totally going to try this with my cashew butter.
I don't want my chocolate to snap, that's why I like the pumpkin and trees no edges!
ohh!! I should make these for my dad, he's obsessed with peanut butter cups lol
That is one of my favorite videos you made..
That Looks Simple Enough And They Look Delicious.. They Took No Time At All To Make..
I think I'd make them with a mix of natural and standard peanut butter.The gritty texture of natural PB makes me think of a Reese's more than Skippy. Reese's is salt, grit and a little tang
Doesn’t Reese’s actually make jarred peanut butter?
These look lush!
I tried the jarred Reese's peanut butter and was very disappointed. I like Jif best. I've noticed that Jif lists molasses as one of the ingredients and am convinced that is what elevates the flavor. 🥜
Going to go grocery shopping and try these tonight!!
How did you seal the bag when you microwaved it? Did it just stay twisted closed?
MERRY CHRISTMAS 🎄🎁
DEAR EMMY 😊

Yes!! The Arrid Extra Dry commercial! This jingle pops into my head regularly ..such nostalgia 😂
Valerie Bertinelli adds jelly to hers. They are 🤯
Sweet, sweet holiday wishes for you and your family
Looks yumm
Reese's _does_ make dark chocolate peanut butter cups. I've only found them at Walgreen's, tho, & they're usually on sale.
They're actually is a difference between texture and whatever else you like between peanut butter. What do they actually use at Reese's cuz I know it has a lot of salt and sugar in it. Or do thst make their own in-house or do they use a manufacturing brand? I always wondered that.
The Shrinkflation of peanut butter happened quite a few years ago. The standard size jar used to be 18 ounces.
Think one could use maple syrup instead of corn syrup for a variety?
I don’t think id want the chocolate to snap - I like the softness of the Reese’s
“Walk away, just walk away..." :P
Merry Christmas!
Peanut butter is sold by weight. That 16 oz. jar of Jig was a pound of peanut butter. Still have to measure if a specific volume is needed for a recipe.
That’s looking good
I’d love to make some peanutbutter cups with real chocolate, here for it
Very cool. Will make some. :)
Thankyou ❤
I love. your energy, clarity and tips. I think I'd take a cookie sheet and gently flatten them a bit
Hello, what is the corn syrup for? I hope I can do without.
You should test if adding coffee powder to baked chocolate goods actually makes it taste better, always see it in recipes but I feel like it makes no difference
"Stick ur impeccably clean finger in there... (don't be shy)...." hey, my mom is listening she just made a strange look at me
How much powdered sugar?
💛...xtra chunky pb...
They're better than TJ's dark chocolate PB cups???? The scandal!!! 😂 I guess I'll have to give this recipe a try 😁
Hi I'm new to your channel in the last few days and I already have a question. I'm also new to diabetes and looking for diabetic friendly simple recipes.
The center can be made by putting powdered sugar and peants in a coffee grinder. Easy to do.
Reese’s also has a texture that is specific in the filling. Did you get that?
Yeah 923 Subscribers finally💯❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Nice❤
J'ai trop envie d'essayer dommage que vous n'indiquez pas les mesures exactes
The filling reminds me a lot of Mazapanes
For me what stands out about Reese’s cups and any other cup is the amount of sweetness more than the salt. The PB in Reese’s is almost sickly sweet.
If you turn the liners inside out, they will all individually separate.
Dark chocolate>milk chocolate every time in my book.
there were so many innuendos in this video
Starts adding the sugar, yt cuts to diabeties drug ad. 😂😂😂
First solo poly commenter🎉🎉❤
