Best Beas Reese Cups Recipes

BEA'S REESE CUPS

Steps:

• Combine softened butter, peanut butter & syrup and mix well. Add powdered sugar and mix well. Cover and refrigerate several hours or overnight. You can refrigerate for a couple of days.
• Melt some of the chocolate bark. Coat bottom of paper cupcake liners with chocolate. I put a fairly thin coat in bottom using a teaspoon. Allow to harden. I normally do this step and let them set overnight. The harder the chocolate the better. You can acutally line the papers and make the filling in the morning and then finish them that evening.
• Melt more chocolate for the tops. Spoon the chilled peanut butter filling into each cup the thickness of a store bought reese cup. Top with enough chocolate to cover the filling and let this harden. I use a tablespoon to put the chocolate on top and then just shake and it will spread over the filling. It doesn't take long for the chocolate to harden but the longer you wait to eat them the better. Remove wrapper when ready to eat.
• Note: I coat the bottom rather thin and the top thicker just like the store bought reese cups. You'll get the hang of it.
• Extra Note: If I have a little extra melted chocolate left I always chocolate cover pretzels, pecans, raisins, etc.

REESE'S PEANUT BUTTER CUPS

Steps:

• In a small bowl, mix the peanut butter, salt and powdered sugar until firm. Slowly melt the chocolate chips in a double boiler over hot, not boiling, water. You may also melt them in a microwave oven set on high for 2 minutes, stirring halfway through the heating time. Grease the muffin tin cups and spoon some chocolate into each cup, filling halfway. With a spoon, draw the chocolate up the edges of each cup until all sides are coated. Cool in the refrigerator until firm. Spread some of the peanut butter onto the chocolate in each cup, leaving room for the final chocolate layer. Cool the cups again to firm up the peanut butter. Pour some chocolate onto the top of each candy and spread it to the edges. Let sit at room temperature, or covered in the refrigerator. Turn out of the pan when firm.
