Reese’s Pieces Peanut Butter Cups
Yes, it’s a true story! This recipe did in fact happen! haha Not that we should be complaining, right? ?
When my mom and her boyfriend were visiting, they told me that Reese’s was coming out with a Reese’s Pieces stuffed Peanut Butter cup! What?! My two favorite candies in the entire world were joining as one?! Of, course we tried to hunt them down, but come to find out, they aren’t being released until July 2016! Such a tease Reese’s. Such a tease!
But, to every problem, there is always a solution! Since I have no patience, I made it my mission to create my own! Of course, I stepped up the protein game, cut down the sugar game and made them just as incredibly tasty! And like I do with all of my Reese’s peanut butter cups, I enjoyed them frozen in the hot Arizona sun! Every. Last. One. ?
I hope you enjoy! Have a great day!
