There’s Peanut Butter in my Chocolate
In the 1920’s, Harry Burnett (H.B.) Reese was the man responsible for introducing the world to the magic of the much-loved combination of chocolate and peanut butter. Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups were originally known as “Penny Cups.”
Reese continued to make his candy through the 1950s. After his death, Hershey bought the candy company Reese created. Read more about the history of Reese’s.

This looks so good. I’ve followed your blog off and on over the years. We’ve tried a few of your recipes. I love this. These mixes are so overpriced in the stores. My mom and I have been looking for quick and easy snacks for our family this holiday season.
I’ve been following your blog off and on through the years. I’ve used a few recipes over the years. I like this one because yes it’s a bit pricey, but the small packets are even more insane. I was showing this to my mom. We were looking for easy snack ideas for our family for the holidays.
Wow really nice and awesome recipe with full of nutrients. Many Thanks for posting this recipe, I will must try to home. As a Nutritionist I appreciate this recipe with all healthy ingredients.
So I have to assume that this is pure sarcasm. But does everything we eat have to be healthy?
I just wanted to say hello to you, Stephanie – I have been a follower for years – pretty much since you started your blog. You actually sent me a cookbook that I had arbitrarily won and I treasure it! I have thoroughly enjoyed your recipes and advice. I am so very pleased you are doing so well!
My busy daughter is going to love this recipe! And no, you Debbie Downers, it is not technically a “recipe,” but it’s amazing none the less.
Aww, thank you 😉 You are right, it really is just some assembly instructions 😉 Thank you! I hope you enjoyed the book!
