Never Think About What to Make for Dinner for the Next Two Months with My Lazy Cooking Bundle
I’ve been experimenting a lot lately with baking candy bars in desserts. And one of the ones I am loving is recipes using Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups.
If there’s one thing I love more than anything else, it’s the combination of peanut butter and chocolate. It’s not a unique point of view, I know so many of us salivate at this classic combination of salty and sweet.
In honor of my work in the kitchen, I have pulled together some of the Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup dessert recipes I have been using as inspiration.
They include the more traditional way of using the peanut butter cups in cakes, cookies, cupcakes and cheesecakes, but there’re also a number of unique ways to use the candy bars in popcorn, fudge, peanut butter cheese balls as well as combined with cookie dough and brownies. Can somebody say, “YUM”?!
