We are big fans of peanut butter here at Tabiboo HQ - especially if it's covered/contains chocolate.
Mmmmmmmmmm.....peanut butter and chocolate - yum!
And out of all the 'off the shelf' products out there Reese's is our all time favourite.
From creamy peanut butter exported from the states to their signature peanut butter cups - more mmmmmmmmm and yum, yum, yum!
Now I'd like to say I've recently discovered a recipe that allows me to make these myself - peanut butter cups that is, but I've actually been making them for years - with the help of Nigella.
Not a personal buddy of mine - unfortunately, but thanks to this recipe found in her book 'How to be a Domestic Goddess' I can whip up my own - homespun as she puts it - batch of peanut butter cups as and when I like.
And I like.......a lot.
No cooking - only when melting the chocolate and that's not really cooking - and absolutely no fuss. Just how I like my cooking.
I have over the years though stopped making these in a tin as I've found trying to cut them up into squares once set frustratingly impossible and assembling them into cupcake cases are equally tricky. So I've resorted to using these rather cute silicone chocolate cases that a very dear friend of mine sent me.
Not only does it make assembling very very easy, but they set super fast - within an hour I would say.
Just enough time to clear the decks and do the washing and drying up before grabbing a couple to accompany a bottom parking and foot putting up session.
~ Delicious ~
Beats waiting around for a whole afternoon checking and re checking to see if the chocolate has set.....yet!
The only downside though is that most of my friends have started taking a liking to my homespun goodies - hence the bag all ready packed and waiting to go!!
Have a cosy day - it's raining with us today!
Happy baking.

Yum. That's all I'm saying! x
Oh boy they look delectable and soaking in glorious calories! xox
All three of the bears hate peanut butter and I have to be in the mood for it, but Mr H could eat it all day long. He is a MASSIVE Reece's fan.
I think he would like those and the moulds you have are adorable! Right Nigella.....where are you?!!!!!!!!
What useful and cute little cases!! :)
Sunny afternoon here, you'll probably have it tomorrow (if my theory is correct)!

OMG!!This is such a delicious post!!I need to go and have atleast a small piece of chocolate now!!
That's a great idea to put them in the little cases. I've also made them before in the big tray and they were all sorts of shapes and sizes when I tried to cut them. Fab!
Oh my goodness. I want one of those right now!
They look great! I didn't know you could get silicone choc cases - I've got cake ones. Excellent :)
It's been raining with us here too and we made Nigella speckled choc brownies . Yours looks so much easier but what are Graham crackers ?
I'm not actually a fan of peanut butter but these look amazing and even I'd try these :)
like the Wittering knitter I'm not a peanut butter fan but those look delicious.........and very tempting
I'm a Reeses girl..so I ""m sure I will like your sweets.yum
They look utterly delicious!!! :) xx
ooh they look so scrummy. I could eat one know, in spite of a belly full of fish fingers and beans. I shall have to just imagine the gorgeously salty/sweet combo and tag this for future making :o)
Oh how yummy - my mouth is watering *lol* :)
These look absolutely delicious!

Mmmmm yum, must try these - my kind of cooking too! I absolutely love those little pink silicone chocolate cases, something to look out for to add to my baking cupboard! Have a wonderful weekend - the sun is shining here, hope it is with you too.
