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!
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 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!
Been watching you for years!! God Bless you Emmy!!! Such a beautiful spirit and I feel it through the screen the same way I did when I first started watching you years ago! Merry Christmas! So grateful that you stayed consistent and continued to bless us with your light!! Thank you!!!
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. 🥰
You are so correct! The dry, salty peanut butter is what makes Reese's Peanut Butter Cups stand out! I have also added some peanut butter powder to help get mine to a dry texture without adding a ton of powdered sugar.
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.
Omg, Emmy, thank you so much for showing me you can melt the melts inside the piping bag!! Whenever I've had to pipe melted chocolate I'd been scooping it out of a bowl into the piping bag and that's such a pain in the neck. You've just saved me so much trouble!!
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! 🎉
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
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'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!
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'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.
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.
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 make these every year, but put a glob of peanut butter into the chocolate before pouring. Also adding a little bit vanilla in the peanut butter filling is good. I've made them using almond butter, actually I think that the peanut butter are more tasty. For different holidays I top the chocolate before it sets with themed colored sprinkles. It's not unusual for me to make them for Christmas, Valentines Day, Easter, 4th of July and Halloween too. It's good to experiment and come up with your own recipe twist on these chocolate cups.
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 🎄💜
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!
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.
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. 🥜
Hello ;) Do you guys know an alternative to peanut butter for people who are allergic to peanut ? I'm deadly allergic to it and I have no idea of the taste of peanut... So I dunno what can replace it
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.
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
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!!!
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 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 👍
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 😋
Is it the same recipe as in the video? If not, I'd love to try your recipe!
It's the same recipe
In your pants
The sound when you bit into the chocolate - NUMMY! That crunch from cold chocolate. what a fun little treat!
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!

Not a fan of reese's but everyone else in my family loves them. Going to try this recipe. Thank you for sharing!
I like the snap that you dont det with Resses. One of my favorites that use peanut butter and chocolate are buckeyes.
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!
Been watching you for years!!
God Bless you Emmy!!! Such a beautiful spirit and I feel it through the screen the same way I did when I first started watching you years ago!
Merry Christmas! So grateful that you stayed consistent and continued to bless us with your light!! Thank you!!!
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
"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 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.

That crunch is so good!
I'm so excited about this!

your videos are sooo calming i love love love
Thank you the piping bag chocolate melting tip! Whodathunkit? Now I want to try and make this recipe. Merry Christmas Emmy! 😋
Reese cups are the Rolls Royce of candy for me, so I'm so thankful for you making these. I can't wait to try it out 🤤
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!
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.
Awesome idea 💡
I never thought about using the piping bags for melting chocolate 🍫❤❤❤
Omg, Emmy, thank you so much for showing me you can melt the melts inside the piping bag!! Whenever I've had to pipe melted chocolate I'd been scooping it out of a bowl into the piping bag and that's such a pain in the neck. You've just saved me so much trouble!!
I will be making these tomorrow !
Great hack melting the chocolate in the piping bag!
❤ Simply Delicious ❤. The peanut butter cups look great too...
Nice! No Reese here, but now I am inspired ;)
That looks so yummy, can't wait to try making them.
Love peanut butter cups. This looks so easy.
Happy Holidays!
Thank you for sharing this recipe. I love peanut butter and dark chocolate. Merry Christmas.
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.
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
Hi Emmy!! Thank you for sharing!!❤

Awesome video, Emmy! Great job implementing the little balls! of peanut 🥜 butter into the cups 😊

Looks so great
New intro music!! Love it so much better than the usual tune!
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. ❤️
Emmy, you created Perfection!!
Happy holidays! This looks great. My daughter and I are hoping to make these too
Don’t supposed to have a crunch the real Reese’s are soft. I prefer a soft, not crunchy.
I bet these would be good with crunchy peanut butter too. Yum!
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to you and your family Emmy.
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
Emmy I feel like I’ve been watching you for half my life lol I’m 20 now it’s been foreverrr

Can also submerge the bag in hot water for more even heat distribution if your microwave is unreliable
If you turn the liners inside out, they will all individually separate.

Here’s a thought…bacon wrapped peanut butter cups!?
That is one of my favorite videos you made..
MERRY CHRISTMAS 🎄🎁
DEAR EMMY 😊
LOVE FROM PUERTO RICO ❤
Don’t come to USA unless you have your green card
@@Baja2424what are you talking about? They are part of US territory.
@Baja2424 what an odd response
Love this! I have made homemade cups and they are so much better than Reese’s- TJs are also way better IMO 😊

ohh!! I should make these for my dad, he's obsessed with peanut butter cups lol
How much powdered sugar?
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.
Going to go grocery shopping and try these tonight!!
I miss these vids 😊
That Looks Simple Enough And They Look Delicious.. They Took No Time At All To Make..
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.
if you're adding a ton of powdered sugar, why does it matter if there is sugar in the PB?
Very cool. Will make some. :)
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!
@@jenniferwaldren7111 👍🏾
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. 🥜
Hello ;) Do you guys know an alternative to peanut butter for people who are allergic to peanut ? I'm deadly allergic to it and I have no idea of the taste of peanut... So I dunno what can replace it
I like the Reese's thins dark chocolate. They're dairy free and less sweet.
Agreed
Sweet, sweet holiday wishes for you and your family
I love hearing and saying random things like you did with the arrid extra dry that was funny
Thanks for pronouncing Reese's correctly!
That’s looking good
I love Reeses cups, but I prefer the big cup ones, because of the difference in the ratio between peanut butter and chocolate.
I may be late to the party, but congrats on 3 million!! 🎉😊
Thank you!
Adam’s peanut butter is the bomb
Cost wise Emmy is it cheaper to buy them already made or could you cut costs somewhere

Yummy 🤤
is there a way to substitute something else for the corn syrup?
I love. your energy, clarity and tips. I think I'd take a cookie sheet and gently flatten them a bit
My favorite peanut butter combo is with bananas!
How did you seal the bag when you microwaved it? Did it just stay twisted closed?
Nice❤
💛...xtra chunky pb...
Reese's _does_ make dark chocolate peanut butter cups. I've only found them at Walgreen's, tho, & they're usually on sale.
Valerie Bertinelli adds jelly to hers. They are 🤯
I wonder if you can use Lilies chocolate's (sugar free natural sweeteners) and powdered xylitol for the powdered sugar...hmmmm
Thankyou ❤
“Walk away, just walk away..." :P
Think one could use maple syrup instead of corn syrup for a variety?
The Shrinkflation of peanut butter happened quite a few years ago. The standard size jar used to be 18 ounces.
