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.

  • Before the famous peanut butter cups, Reese made two candy bars named after his children – the Lizzy Bar and the Johnny Bar.
  • Every year, Reese’s makes enough Peanut Butter Cups to feed one cup of peanut butter to almost everyone in the world. That’s a lot of peanut butter!

Variations for this Snack Mix

Obviously, if you are a big fan of peanut butter, you will want to make this snack mix. However, you could easily swap out the semi-sweet chocolate chips for milk chocolate and the peanuts for chocolate-covered peanuts if desired. Whichever way you go, you will save money by making the mix yourself.

    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.

    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.
