They are amazing. I find making them at home is so much nicer and also better for you because they are not going to have the added crap of preservatives or other stuff.
The secret to a good peanut butter cup isn’t the chocolate. What really makes them great is finding the right peanut butter center. We couldn’t use just peanut butter because that would leave the wrong texture, and would probably effect the shape of the cups.The trick is to mix the peanut butter, the butter and icing sugar, or as the other name confectioners sugar.
