Homemade Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups come together in just 15 minutes and are even better than the real thing!
Reese’s Peanut Butter cups are my jam. Hands down the first candy that I pick out of the Halloween bag. Love the peanut butter and chocolate combo. You can find Peanut Butter Bars or even Reese’s Peanut Butter eggs on the blog and they are my favorite treat!
As soon as I saw that you can make these easy peanut butter cups I had to make them. My youngest son loves to cook and help in the kitchen. He is always asking me to watch Food Network with him and already told me he would take over the blog when I die. So the blog won’t be going anywhere for a long time. 😉
We had so much fun making these on Friday night together. I had all of the ingredients on hand! And the best part is that we put them together in just 15 minutes.
The result was even better than expected! Dare I say that that these are even better than the real thing!? Because they ARE! The peanut butter center is out of this world. I could have eaten the peanut butter center by the spoonful. It is so good!
You just have to line the cupcake liners with melted chocolate, follow it with the delicious peanut butter center and top with the rest of the melted chocolate. These are so easy!
I am warning you that if you love peanut butter cups as much as I do, you won’t be able to stop eating them! They taste so much better homemade and they are fun to make! You are going to love these Homemade Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups!

I have silicone cupcake pan. If I skip the liners, do I need to spray/grease them or can I pour the chocolate directly into mold? Thank you.
I would still spray/grease them. Greasing helps the chocolate release cleanly from the mold, preserves any ridges or design details, and makes cleanup easier. Just be sure not to overdo it, a little goes a long way.
I haven’t tried this recipe yet but based on the reviews I am certainly going to try it. I only want to clarify the gram crackers. Is it 1 full sleeve? The recipe says 10 sheets but is that a full sheet which includes 4 pieces per sheet or are you counting 1 full sheet as 4? Crazy confusing I know… sorry lol.
Hope to hear back soon so I can try these.
Hi Gina, you will use 10 full sheets (1 sheet = 4 small rectangles). I hope this helps! Let me know how they turn out!
Oh my! They were SO GOOD! I was buying the Reese’s plant based ones because I wanted non-dairy ones but these can be made with non-dairy chocolate and they came out amazing!
hi — wondering if I can use your fillling for buckeyes? the traditional buskeye filling is too sweet for me but I love reeses.
Hi Tatsuya, yes this would work!
Oh My Goodness!!! Just made a bunch of these and I’m very very happy with how they came out! Delicious! And incredibly easy! Thank u so much!
The are just as good as the real thing! I melted the PB first and it was much easier to mix! LOVE This!
Thank you!
Can you use milk chocolate melting wafers instead of chocolate chips?
Hi Maria, thank you for your question. Yes, melting wafers of any kind will work for this! Just melt them at 50% power for 20-30 second increments. Stir well between increments until fully melted. Let me know how they turn out!
How many Reese’s cups do the make plz respond me and my grandma are in the store
Hi Cooper, I’m sorry I’m just seeing your message. My recipe cards usually have serving size information on them. This recipe makes about 18 cups! I hope you figured it out while you were at the store!
Alyssa, I am not familiar with a ‘sleeve’ od crackers. Can you tell me how much is it? Also are they kind of hard crackers. In my country we don’t really use graham crackers for sweets. Thank you.
Hi Li, thank you for your question. One sleeve of graham crackers makes about 1 1/4 cups of graham cracker crumbs. You can use digestive biscuits in place of the graham crackers! I hope this helps!
