I recently shared this over at Pamela’s Heavenly Treats. I’m sharing it here in case anyone missed it!
One of my absolute favorite things ever is Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups. I mean, doesn’t everyone love them?! I love anything and everything with peanut butter and chocolate. Many years ago, I set out to make the perfect homemade peanut butter balls and now, I have a recipe I’m particularly fond of. For Valentine’s Day, you could use a heart mold for the peanut butter mixture or during Easter, you can also shape the peanut butter mixture into egg shapes and have Peanut Butter Eggs!
This recipe is super quick and requires no cooking – and is a great recipe for kids to help with!
