4 Ideas for Using REESE’S Peanut Butter Cups in Recipes

For fans of REESE’S products, recipes that incorporate candies like the classic REESE’S Peanut Butter Cups or other items such as REESE’S Popcorn offer even more ways to enjoy these sweet sensations! Below, check out four ideas for incorporating REESE’S Peanut Butter Cups into homemade recipes.

1. Make the REESE’S Peanut Butter Cup the centerpiece. In the recipe shared by The Girl Who Ate Everything, peanut butter cups are put into the middle of a peanut butter cookie. These candies are added after cooking, so they don’t melt fully into the cookie. This recipe doubles up on the peanut butter flavor and offers a chewy exterior with a soft sweet center!

2. Fry them. Their rich chocolate exterior and creamy peanut butter interior make REESE’S Peanut Butter Cups a decadent candy to enjoy. This recipe from Desserts on a Dime further embraces sweet indulgence by battering the peanut butter cups and then deep frying them to a golden brown crust.

3. Incorporate them into a pie. Sometimes, making pie can be quite a process. In this recipe from Spicy Southern Kitchen, chopping up the peanut butter cups may be the most time-consuming part of the entire recipe, aside from refrigeration time. Here, REESE’S Peanut Butter Cups can be incorporated into the filling and used as a flavorful and textural topping for the pie!

4. Use them in a layered dessert. In dishes like the BBQ Brisket Steakburger and the Grilled Cheese Steakburger, two or more classic dishes combine to create unique and mouthwatering menu items. In this recipe from Allrecipes, not one but two acclaimed treats, OREO® cookies and REESE’S Peanut Butter Cups, come together to form a decadent and decorative dessert stack.

Against the rich, nutty sauce and the scrumptious pieces of chocolate-covered peanut butter bites, our freshly churned vanilla frozen custard provides a cool, creamy contrast. Available in multiple sizes and treat styles, as well as with your choice of custard and topping customization options, this is a REESE’S recipe at Freddy’s that you don’t want to miss!
