Thanks for this! It's the best recipe for p.b. cups I've found. I tweaked it a bit & added a little brandy to the p.b., & used semi-sweet chocolate chips. Also very tasty to add some rice crispies type cereal to the p.b. . Thanks again -was a very easy & quick addition to the Christmas goodies!
Matt, Thanks for the great recipe and method. I've been making these the hard way. Your method of rolling the peanut butter into a ball and spooning the chocolate on top and on sides is MUCH easier. I did make some with Kahlua and Almond butter. Awesome.
This recipe exceeded all my expectations. Very easy to make and tastes so much more real than the candy alternative. It feels awesome to be in control of what I want my sweets to taste like. Thank you. Subscribed
lol thanks! Yeah I don't even eat Reese's anymore, because I like homemade so much better. Out of all my treats I make, I think I make these the most. haha
Dude I have now made these peanut butter cups dozens of times they are delicious and addictive. I've shared the recipe with all my family members sent my son the link to your video. Great job. The ingredients list is so reasonable so manageable so delicious. I love it. Everybody loves it. Thank you for bringing my family a lot of joy we will make homemade peanut butter cups for ever now! 😁 You might not recognize me but that's me and my happy face! Thank you!
Awesome!!! I am so glad you continue to make them and that your family loves them! I make them all the time, I just made a huge batch from my friend's birthday party. I made them a bit more fancy by adding crushed almonds on the tops of a few of them and white chocolate zigzags on a few others. If you get the chance, can you please give this recipe a comment and rating on my new website? I would really appreciate it. :) inthekitchenwithmatt.com/better-than-reeses-peanut-butter-cups

Kind of wish you were in my friendship circle hahaha you've been making these for so long I bet you do some extraordinary work with it. 😀👍

I came here from a comment on your new video the really long one and these also look super awesome and easy i cant believe i’ve been buying Reese’s butter cups 2 for a dollar when now i can get like 24 recesses cups for idk i already have the ingredients so i don’t have to spend anything thank you so much
@@inthekitchenwithmatt Hi Matt. Quick update. I followed your recipe & method to the letter and they turned out perfectly. They are just as tasty, if not better than the Reeses originals !! They have a much more refined & smooth texture, but for a first try I'm very impressed. The quantity listed made 12 perfectly with absolutly no waste. You've earned a subscription for life from me pal. Thanks again, from Tim, Liverpool - UK
@@SCAPE0GOAT Awesome Tim! So glad you tried it and liked it. Yeah, I never buy Reese's anymore, I love homemade so much better, so simple and easy to make. Plus you can use different flavorings of chocolate, and even different nut butters to make all kinds of variations. And thank you so much! I appreciate it! You are welcome!
Thank you so much. I wanted something sweet to eat that was really quick and I came across this video. I am going to try them now. I will try to eat only one since it's late at night.
Matt to the rescue, thank you! I no longer have to OD on PGPR (polyglycerol polyricinoleate E476 aka Palsgaard 4150) & TBHQ (tertiary butylhydroquinone) filled Reese Cups, that I just love so much. You think I would have given them up before now, uhmmmm.
You are welcome! Just a note if you are using chocolate candy melts, I would use the defrost setting or half power, depending on the wattage of your microwave. Sometimes in the microwave can get too hot and seize up the chocolate, haha.
They look excellent! I'm not sure of the combination of peanut butter and chocolate (tho I do like peanut butter); but you showed how very easy they are to make. Maybe one could improvise with perhaps a cherry in the center, or a small marshmallow... Of course, the cherry would have to be soaked in brandy, French Brandy naturally, but I would imagine that one's imagination could run away with them on ideas for the center of these cups. In France they make a rather delicious chocolate with Brandy inside them. They color the chocolate in different shades too, and give the chocolate a spiky rough edge to it. They are amazing! I so wish I knew how this is achieved, and how they put the brandy inside. Any clue on how that is done, Matt?
Chocolate and peanut butter is one of the best combinations ever. I don't drink alcohol, so have never tried the French Brandy chocolates, although I have heard of them. I imagine they inject it with a syringe or something. Not really sure.
I make a point to look through all your videos and try everything at least once. I love that everything you make is budget friendly, including the tools needed. We love saving money, but being foodies at heart, it's not always obvious to have the tastebuds agree with the wallet. Thank you for making these recipes possible for us, Matt. These cups are on the block for today, and like everything else I have made of yours, this too will be delicious I am sure of it.
Thank you Katy! That means a lot to me that you look through all my videos. Oh yes, I am sure you will love the homemade peanut butter cups! They are so easy to make and so yummy! Let me know how they turn out. :)
Thank you for sharing..i love reeses peanut butter cups..chocolate and peanut butter anything is a great combination...soooo tempting..thanks for showing how to use the 2 different chocolates..if i want to give these away for christmas gifts or to put on a cookie platter would you suggest using the chocolate candy melts so they wont melt as easily in room temperature? Thanks..they look really awesome 😊
You are very welcome! :) Yes if you are going to put them on platter or give away, I would suggest using the chocolate candy melts. :) Someday I will do a tempering chocolate video. haha
Sure you could put about a half tsp. of peppermint extract in with the chocolate. :) or any extract. You may want to play with the amounts, but I would start with 1/2 tsp at first.
@@inthekitchenwithmatt I added brandy to the p.b., & vanilla in another batch. I don't think peppermint would be a good match with the p.b.. [the brandy was EXTRA tasty! ;-) ]
They will be really hard to get out. You really need the liner. But you are welcome to try it. Plus the originals come in a paper liner, and it is easier to serve them that way too without touching them all.
Thanks for the video; I'm definitely going to try this recipe. Of note, Hershey isn't real chocolate, but there are plenty of good dark chocolate bars out there to use.
Been making these a long time now, use cooking chocolate same texture and tast as Reese cup, soft enough to complement filling as you bite into it TAST EXCACTLY LIKE REESE CUP, also, roll a ball of filling about a teaspoon (little more) Lay on counter and flatern with palm of hand to disc shape a tiny bit smaller than bottom of cup case, make before you melt your chocolate and lift with knife under disc into chocolate cup, One teaspoon chocolate, one heap teaspoon filling in disc, and one sooonfull of chocolate, done
Thank you this is more of what I've been looking for .I am gonna make it very similar to this .but I'm having to tweak it a little cause I'm dibitic .like for instance im doing the choclate with coco powder by makeing a sauce. Its not hard .same thing ss the chips really. Also I'm gonna put it in a loaf pan and Iis gonna be bars lol. Just easier snf notas time consuming right ?I also did my own powder suger from splenda that was easy.also I dont really care for coconut oil that much really.so defintly doing the butter
Hi, this looks great but i have a question. Peanut butter in regular Reese’s is very salty (thats why i love it). But you don’t put any salt. Instead of you add sweet. Is it really tastes like Reese’s or something similar with chocolate and peanut?
Great question, I don't like the salt in the Reese's that is why for me these are "Better Than Reese's". But you can always add 1/2 tsp. of salt in with the peanut butter if you like. The best thing to do is to make them and try them yourself. And see what you think. :) Maybe do a side by side taste test. :)
Hi Matt, I don't own a microwave, what would be the quickest way to melt the chocolate? I also read that you said to firm up the chocolate b4 adding just straight peanut butter. Why would that be? Ty in advance!
Hello! See if these written instructions clear it up. :) inthekitchenwithmatt.com/better-than-reeses-peanut-butter-cups It also talks about how to melt the chocolate if not using a microwave.
@@susanosborne4699 Yeah Susan it depends on the brand and the flavors, the colored ones don't taste as good as the chocolate ones, in my opinion. with that said, I always use real chocolate, unless I am going to take them to a party where they will be sitting out. Tempering chocolate is a pain haha.
I did this tonight and they turned out wonderfully. The chocolate thieves in my house got them all lol. At least I know how to make them now lol. Thank you for this video.
@@inthekitchenwithmatt I am making these again this year and handing them out as christmas gifts. Everyone loves them. I appriciate that I can come back here for a refresher course on how to make them. Thanks again so much.
@@inthekitchenwithmatt I made them again and they are on high demand this year lol. I couldnt get the peanut butter cup middle dryer though but they were a big hit
Hi, Nutella doesn't harden the way chocolate does. But you can certainly try it. :) You could use Nutella and then freeze it. But it will definitely get really soft at room temp. But give it a try and find out for yourself, that is what makes learning fun, trying things out.
That looks amazing Matt. I think that can be easily converted onto a Keto recipe with just a few substitutions. That's cool ! By chance do you have a chocolate cherry recipe? Just curious. Lol.
Hello Chua, it depends on the yeast you are using, and how much you are using. Also too long of rising time might make it taste yeasty. If the recipe calls to let the dough rise for 2 hours, or until doubled, if the dough has doubled after only 45 minutes or an hour, then it is ready. Also if you are having trouble with yeasty bread, try using a little less yeast.
Will using half the amount of yeast that the recipe calls for makes a big impact to the product ? I will try your recipe with the machine one day and let you know. Cheers
It might effect it a little bit. If you follow my bread recipe exactly, it shouldn't have a yeasty taste. At least it never does when I make it. haha :)
@@inthekitchenwithmatt I just thought that the peanut butter in a Reese's is a little darker than yours. Guess it doesn't make a difference, just thought it would be better. lol
@@janetshelton8948 lol nah it wouldn't make a difference. Now if you wanted to add a different flavor to the peanut butter like a little Nutella, that would make it darker. But there really is no reason to try and color it darker. Remember these are "Better than" Reese's not trying to be an identical copy of them. :)
Like I said in the video you can use whatever chocolate you want and whatever nut butter that you want, especially homemade organic peanut butter. And making them at home will be much cheaper than buying the Justin Organics ones. At Walmart it is like $2 and you only 1 package of 2 peanut butter cups. That is the beauty of making them at home, much cheaper, and you can make many different varieties and combinations.
You can try it, but I don't think it will work very well, the reason why the powdered sugar works is it also helps to turn the consistency of the peanut butter into more of like a play dough, without making it too sweet. If you don't have powdered sugar, what I recommend is just put a layer of chocolate down first in the paper cup then put that in the fridge for like 10 minutes to firm up. Then just spoon normal peanut butter on top, without adding any extra sugar, then add another layer of chocolate. I just think it will get way to sweet if you use regular white granulated sugar or brown sugar.
Yes!!! After the first layer of chocolate and then the peanut butter disc, add a bit of jelly like half of a tsp or a full tsp on top of that. Then pour the top layer of chocolate. Tasty!!!
Hello it is written in the description box: Ingredients: (Note they don't have to be exact) 1/2 cup peanut butter (or any nut butter like almond butter) (125g) 1 tsp. of softened butter (optional) (5g) 1 cup powdered sugar (added gradually, may need a little more or less) (125g) 1 cup milk chocolate candy melts (175g) 1 cup dark chocolate (combination of chocolate bars and chocolate chips, etc) (175g)
Adam that is a pretty specific filling it is hard to match the exact texture and taste because it is made in a factory, and also has preservatives to make the shelf life so much better. These homemade versions are much better in my opinion. You may be able to find another recipe that has a closer match to the store bought Reese's.
Love your chanel, Mat! I've tried some of your recipes and they're all great! Are you familiar with Crinkles? Can you pls make it? I trust you when it comes to sweets! 😊
Thank you Naeem! hahaha :) Yeah the facial hair is a new thing for me, I am not used to it yet, so it is pretty itchy haha. I am only doing it for Halloween though.
@@inthekitchenwithmatt I'm a beginner so it's all new to me. I used Nestle Toll House Semi Sweet Morsels chocolate chips for baking. I melted them in a pyrex measuring cup placed inside a crock pot with water in it. I saw that on youtube also.
@@mikepollock464 Ok for that kind of chocolate you need to temper it otherwise it melts at room temperature. The paper cup will tear depending on the brand of paper cup you use, but that is very common for them to tear.
@@inthekitchenwithmatt i just used côté d'Or milk chocolat, where i live they don't really sell chocolat meant for melting. it was also refrigerated right after pouring it, but it is actually starting to set now! :)
It is in the description box. If you are on a mobile, down in the right corner right under the video there is a triangle, click on that and it will reveal the description box.
It doesn't burn if you do it correctly like I mentioned bursts of 30 seconds and stirring. The double boiler method is also a good way to melt chocolate if desired. I have many videos that already show that method. I have been melting chocolate for many many many years.
The powdered sugar isn't that sweet. You need something to make the peanut butter not sticky and get the right texture. That is what the powdered sugar does. But yes they are sweet they are a dessert and are supposed to be sweet. :) :)
Probably because it is faster. I have several recipes that show both ways to do it. This is the very old version that uses the double boiler method. one of my first videos, I can't believe it is already 11 years old haha. ua-cam.com/video/UK8Go3dDqt4/v-deo.html
Isabella, these aren't cookies. When you say they didn't work what do you mean? How didn't they work? I have made them countless times, they definitely work.
Look down in the description box the full list of ingredients are there. But you can make them without the amounts. Start with some peanut butter add a bit of butter then start adding powdered sugar until you get the play dough consistency. This is one recipe that doesn't have to be exact by any means.
hahaha, powdered sugar while made from granulated sugar is not the same as far as calories, etc. For example if you were substituting powdered sugar for granulated, you would need 1 3/4 cup for 1 cup of granulated. But at any rate, peanut butter cups are supposed to be sweet. :) You can reduce the sugar a bit, but then the peanut butter gets super sticky and his hard to work with. But if you are making them, they are your peanut butter cups, so make them how you like. :) :) You can't go wrong and are easy to make your own variation.
@@inthekitchenwithmatt sorry nothing beats the original , i haven't tried this but i have tried similar recipes and i dont think its better its just good but not better than reese's
@@CipherVaults Try this one, you may be surprised. :) everyone I talk to that eats these like them better than Reese's. But everyone has their own tastes. haha.

@@thehawkgirl7447 Awesome!! :)
thanks for posting
You are welcome!
I am so trying this out 😋
Awesome! :) Good luck! Let me know how they turn out.
Can we use nuttella?
Hi, Nutella doesn't harden the way chocolate does. But you can certainly try it. :) You could use Nutella and then freeze it. But it will definitely get really soft at room temp. But give it a try and find out for yourself, that is what makes learning fun, trying things out.
That looks amazing Matt. I think that can be easily converted onto a Keto recipe with just a few substitutions. That's cool !
By chance do you have a chocolate cherry recipe? Just curious. Lol.
Thanks J! I am sure I can come up with something for that chocolate cherry! :)
Hi Matt, how r u ? I like to ask your opinion about bread making...why does homemade bread smell or taste too yeasty ??
Hello Chua, it depends on the yeast you are using, and how much you are using. Also too long of rising time might make it taste yeasty. If the recipe calls to let the dough rise for 2 hours, or until doubled, if the dough has doubled after only 45 minutes or an hour, then it is ready. Also if you are having trouble with yeasty bread, try using a little less yeast.
I am making it with a BREAD MAKER machine. Can I use your old white bread recipe to make in my machine? Thank you for replying
@@henry1667 give it a try. :) I never use bread machines haha. :) I always do it by hand. So I am not an expert with the bread machine.
Will using half the amount of yeast that the recipe calls for makes a big impact to the product ? I will try your recipe with the machine one day and let you know. Cheers
It might effect it a little bit. If you follow my bread recipe exactly, it shouldn't have a yeasty taste. At least it never does when I make it. haha :)
The regular dark chocolate can be quite hard when set up
Not with this, the layer of chocolate will be thin. I use dark chocolate all the time and it works fantastic.
Looks good, would be easy to veganize too : )
Thanks! Yes it sure is easy to veganize it.
Anyway you can make the peanut butter darker?
Hi Janet why would you want to make the peanut butter darker?
@@inthekitchenwithmatt I just thought that the peanut butter in a Reese's is a little darker than yours. Guess it doesn't make a difference, just thought it would be better. lol
What do you think?
@@janetshelton8948 lol nah it wouldn't make a difference. Now if you wanted to add a different flavor to the peanut butter like a little Nutella, that would make it darker. But there really is no reason to try and color it darker. Remember these are "Better than" Reese's not trying to be an identical copy of them. :)
@@inthekitchenwithmatt Ok, Thanks so much! Always wanted to make them homemade! Janet
Love the facial hair Matt.. peanut butter cups look amazing as well 😉 and I am from Ohio. They are just like Buckeyes.
Thank you Storie! Yes if they were round they would be just like them wouldn't they, and then expose the top to where you see the peanut butter...mmm.
I noticed the only difference is shape. Maybe recipe. Other then that no difference
These peanut butter cups look really nice. New Sub
Thank you! :)
This recipe is great, but Justin's Organics makes a dark chocolate peanut butter cup as well as varieties with alternative nut butters.
Like I said in the video you can use whatever chocolate you want and whatever nut butter that you want, especially homemade organic peanut butter. And making them at home will be much cheaper than buying the Justin Organics ones. At Walmart it is like $2 and you only 1 package of 2 peanut butter cups. That is the beauty of making them at home, much cheaper, and you can make many different varieties and combinations.
Subscribed from Los Angeles 👍🏻
Thank you! :)
Yo Matt can i use regular Sugar or Brown Sugar For This
You can try it, but I don't think it will work very well, the reason why the powdered sugar works is it also helps to turn the consistency of the peanut butter into more of like a play dough, without making it too sweet. If you don't have powdered sugar, what I recommend is just put a layer of chocolate down first in the paper cup then put that in the fridge for like 10 minutes to firm up. Then just spoon normal peanut butter on top, without adding any extra sugar, then add another layer of chocolate. I just think it will get way to sweet if you use regular white granulated sugar or brown sugar.
Thanks Matt i'll try it in a few days
@@XPATHGAMES You are very welcome! Let me know how they turn out. :)
@@inthekitchenwithmatt ok i will
@@inthekitchenwithmatt update : it worked fine tasted really good 👍
very nice👍👍
Thank you! :)
Any tips on how to make it so when I take it out my fridge it doesn’t melt straight away?
If using real chocolate, you need to temper it. Otherwise use the "candy melts" chocolate, which don't melt as easily at room temperature.
1:32 But But But... PEanut Butter is already a Butter... So how would i add a jam to make it a pbj cup? jsut pour it over the pb?
Yes!!! After the first layer of chocolate and then the peanut butter disc, add a bit of jelly like half of a tsp or a full tsp on top of that. Then pour the top layer of chocolate. Tasty!!!
Looks like a cup of peanut butter?? How much icing sugar?
Hello it is written in the description box:
Ingredients: (Note they don't have to be exact)
1/2 cup peanut butter (or any nut butter like almond butter) (125g)
1 tsp. of softened butter (optional) (5g)
1 cup powdered sugar (added gradually, may need a little more or less) (125g)
1 cup milk chocolate candy melts (175g)
1 cup dark chocolate (combination of chocolate bars and chocolate chips, etc) (175g)
How do the get the actual reese's cups penut butter filling texture? I'm trying to match that
Adam that is a pretty specific filling it is hard to match the exact texture and taste because it is made in a factory, and also has preservatives to make the shelf life so much better. These homemade versions are much better in my opinion. You may be able to find another recipe that has a closer match to the store bought Reese's.
Do you have any suggestions for substituting the peanut butter? I wanna be creative!
Any of the nut butters. Almond butter, cashew butter, etc. :) :)
Love your chanel, Mat! I've tried some of your recipes and they're all great!
Are you familiar with Crinkles? Can you pls make it? I trust you when it comes to sweets! 😊
By the wa, y husband loves Reese's so I'll be making your peanut butter cups later! 😋
I can't wait! 😂
Awesome let me know how they turn out!
Thank you Aileen!! :) How yeah chocolate crinkles, yummy, I will put them on my list. :)
@@inthekitchenwithmatt
I'll be waiting for that! Thanks for the reply, Mat!
@@aileensaguinsin1785 You are very welcome!

how much chocolate , peanut butter and powered sugar do we need to use (in grams)
Hello Kerry, look below the video in the description box. I have the ingredients and their amounts in both American Standard and Metric. :)
Why do you do this to us? Your gonna make me buy a bunch, I have a weaknesses for Reese's! Or maybe I should just make them 😄
NO don't buy them. lol, make some homemade ones, and you will never want to eat store bought ones again!!! Lol :) :)
Hmm I am going to have to try it out then 😄 I honestly think they put something in the store kind to make you addicted to them lol
@@LydiaApril lol they might. haha
@@inthekitchenwithmatt I think they do it on purpose to get ppl to buy more of them lol
LOL totally! Great marketing strategy! lol
YUMMY 😋 THANKS YOU GOODNESS 🌟❤️🖤💚🤎 FAMILY DAPHNE COTTON ALWAYS 💜 AWESOME PEANUT BUTTER CUP,
Glad you like it! :)
How much PB .?
1/2 cup the ingredients are all listed in the description box beneath the video.
They are cheaper, taste better and fun to make.
Yes!!!
Great video Matt..... Like the beard 👍👍
Thank you Naeem! hahaha :) Yeah the facial hair is a new thing for me, I am not used to it yet, so it is pretty itchy haha. I am only doing it for Halloween though.
@@inthekitchenwithmatt lol ok you look good with it 👌👍
Well thank you! :)
No problem Matt hope my comment made your day a little better and made you smile
@@NaeemKhan-ho3ul Yes it did!! :) :) Thank you so much.
Anyone know why the paper cup is tearing apart when I remove the p.b. cup & the chocolate gets melted very fast when eating them. What will fix it?
What chocolate are you using?
@@inthekitchenwithmatt I'm a beginner so it's all new to me. I used Nestle Toll House Semi Sweet Morsels chocolate chips for baking. I melted them in a pyrex measuring cup placed inside a crock pot with water in it. I saw that on youtube also.
@@mikepollock464 Ok for that kind of chocolate you need to temper it otherwise it melts at room temperature. The paper cup will tear depending on the brand of paper cup you use, but that is very common for them to tear.
Thanks lot 💛👍🏻🧡🌺❤️💐👻🌸
You are welcome Farah!
Yum 😋
Thank you Bella!
REESE’s company:say sike right now
hahaha
Want to thank you 40 Years I tried making nothing work yours work
You are so very welcome Joyce. Did you use candy melts or real chocolate?
I tried it but for some reason the chocolat never set.. I waited overnight but it's like fudge. :(
mmm what kind of chocolate did you use? Did you put it in the refrigerator?
@@inthekitchenwithmatt i just used côté d'Or milk chocolat, where i live they don't really sell chocolat meant for melting. it was also refrigerated right after pouring it, but it is actually starting to set now! :)
My mom has always wanted to make homemade peanut butter cups because she likes dark chocolate and Reese’s doesn’t have them
Yeah it is so fun to use different chocolate with it too. You can make dark, milk, semi-sweet, white, etc. :)
I'm trying to find the recipe
It is in the description box. If you are on a mobile, down in the right corner right under the video there is a triangle, click on that and it will reveal the description box.
use your bouble boiler so it doesnt burn
It doesn't burn if you do it correctly like I mentioned bursts of 30 seconds and stirring. The double boiler method is also a good way to melt chocolate if desired. I have many videos that already show that method. I have been melting chocolate for many many many years.
I love candy
candy is good!
Use egg cartons
Great idea, if you don't have a mini muffin pan!
Wouldn't you get cardboard fibers in the chocolate?
Wouldn't you get cardboard fibers in the chocolate?
@@katebragg5797 they're not all made of cardboard

more sugar than peanut butter :O this must be a lot sweeter...
The powdered sugar isn't that sweet. You need something to make the peanut butter not sticky and get the right texture. That is what the powdered sugar does. But yes they are sweet they are a dessert and are supposed to be sweet. :) :)
You didn't give the measurements like cups in teaspoons
Look in the description box you will find all the measurements.
There's a easy way to make Reese's
For sure! It doesn't get much easier than this. haha
Why does everyone use a microwave for all their recipes
Probably because it is faster. I have several recipes that show both ways to do it. This is the very old version that uses the double boiler method. one of my first videos, I can't believe it is already 11 years old haha. ua-cam.com/video/UK8Go3dDqt4/v-deo.html
My sister is being dumb and using normal sugar instead of powdered sugar
haha :)
I made his cookies they didn’t work
Isabella, these aren't cookies. When you say they didn't work what do you mean? How didn't they work? I have made them countless times, they definitely work.
In The Kitchen With Matt I mean I tried making your cookies and I don’t no why but it came out of the oven raw do you have any tips
If you dont eat your peanut butter cups frozen then youre sacrilegious.
LOL. Um no. While they are good frozen, I guarantee you most people do not eat them frozen.
How are you suppossed to make these not knowing an quanitied you never said
Look down in the description box the full list of ingredients are there. But you can make them without the amounts. Start with some peanut butter add a bit of butter then start adding powdered sugar until you get the play dough consistency. This is one recipe that doesn't have to be exact by any means.
I want to make them but the amount of sugar you out scared me
hahaha, powdered sugar while made from granulated sugar is not the same as far as calories, etc. For example if you were substituting powdered sugar for granulated, you would need 1 3/4 cup for 1 cup of granulated. But at any rate, peanut butter cups are supposed to be sweet. :) You can reduce the sugar a bit, but then the peanut butter gets super sticky and his hard to work with. But if you are making them, they are your peanut butter cups, so make them how you like. :) :) You can't go wrong and are easy to make your own variation.
“Better than Reese's Peanut Butter Cups”
No.
Yes. :) Have you tried them? Or do you just think that. If not, make them and do a comparison.
@@inthekitchenwithmatt sorry nothing beats the original , i haven't tried this but i have tried similar recipes and i dont think its better its just good but not better than reese's
@@CipherVaults Try this one, you may be surprised. :) everyone I talk to that eats these like them better than Reese's. But everyone has their own tastes. haha.
