General Description: A thin, slightly soft chocolate shell covers a smooth, creamy peanut butter center, creating a perfect balance of salty and sweet. The best-known peanut-butter cups are made by Reese’s in an iconic round, tapered cup shape with fluted sides.
History: Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups were created in 1928 by Harry Burnett Reese, who had formerly worked for Milton Hershey. Although Reese’s made several other kinds of candy, the peanut-butter cups in their distinctive brown, orange, and yellow wrapping remain popular today.
Serving Suggestions: Wrap peanut-butter cups in gold foil and serve them in the Halloween candy bowl. Or pack them in boxed lunches for a special treat.
Candy-Making Notes: Use a fluted cup mold or a mini muffin tin lined with fluted candy cups.
