Every holiday I seek out homemade Reeses Peanut Butter Cups on the candy tray and try to hoard as many as possible. Although they are not difficult to make, they are time consuming since you make individual cups. And being I’m lazy – I never made the effort to make them.
Until I found this recipe on Stylish Cuisine who so cunningly made them into bars. Brilliant! I can’t believe I never thought to do that myself. This holiday treat is now an easy addition to your candy tray. And I’m a little less greedy since these only take minutes to make.
