Homemade Vegan Reese's Peanut Butter Cups! They Taste Like the ORIGINAL!

[@rainforestspirit]

ooh, would LOVE a vegan version of Kitkat. Love these so much more than Reese's..... Thanks for all your hard work! Love your videos!

[@ginsoakedgirl4]

Seconded, KitKat was my fave! Making those thin wafers would be painful I'm sure though.

[@hamie58]

@@ginsoakedgirl4 also kitkat bars contain reject kitkat bars so it's hard to recreate the filling.

[@ginsoakedgirl4]

@@hamie58 Wait whaaaaat???

[@trainerkellysnetwork]

I was gonna suggest Kitkat myself! And I want an actual Kitkat too, not a dang Kebbler Fudge Stick (not that those aren't delicious, but they're not kitkats). No dipping a wafer cookie into chocolate and calling it a day (which is usually what people do). I miss Kitkats. T_T I loved Reese's a lot as a kid, but before I went vegan, I loved Kitkats way more.

[@ChrisVirtualAssistant]

There's a lady in my town who makes vegan snickers, twix and pb cups. She's my new favorite person.

[@RachelColic]

That Hershey factory is now a cannabis factory. You can still go and take a tour, you just see a very different product being made now 🤣

[@injunsun]

OMGs! Too funny! Now I want a cannabis Reese's! Maybe two... 😁😊

Vegan snickers would be awesome! Those were my mom and my favorite! We used to always get them when we went to the grocery store together.

I've seen someone add peanut butter powder to the peanut butter to give it the same texture w out the nooch taste lol

[@HoneyMoser]

Good idea! I usually add some ground flax. Gets the kids to eat more flax!

[@EdgyVeg]

I love the mooch taste in it! It add s a buttery-ness

[@WhiskCraft_]

Looks good. I usually just use chunky peanut butter and grind it down a bit more to get that texture. Almond butter cups are wonderful too ❤️

ILOVE vegan peanut butter cups! Something that I’ve tried is melting vegan white chocolate with the semi sweet chocolate which gives you ‘milk’ chocolate....so freaking yum! 🤤 Love your videos 😊

[@biancaneves3346]

Pro tip: add a bit of refined coconut oil to the chocolate to get a softer bite.

[@EdgyVeg]

I find it melts when when you have it at room temp

Okay I’m SUPER late to this but almond flour instead of nooch or graham crackers! Literally PERFECTION.

[@thehardrockhippie7118]

I never would have thought to try nooch in this! Reese’s were my favorite too and I’ve really been craving them lately. I’ve tried vegan peanut butter cups that are store bought but none of them taste right to me. Definitely going to have to try this recipe!!!

The bowl should not touch the water in the double boiler. It over heats the chocolate

I mean it's probably true but I think she kind of got it down she probably just turned down the heat, so that thatwouldn't happen.

[@SamElle]

PEANUT BUTTER AND CHOCOLATE IS THE BEST COMBO TO HAVE HAPPENED TO MANKIND!!!

[@injunsun]

Do you remember the old adds? "YOU got chocolate in my peanut butter!" "YOU got peanut butter on my chocolate!" Then, "Two great tastes, that taste great together." Brilliant, and true.

[@XRaccoonEyesX]

I was skeptical about the nooch, but I did it, these are GREAT!

[@wildgeese5707]

Reese’s cups chocolate is thin and very soft. I wonder if mixing in some refined coconut oil to the chocolate would help. It will make the chocolate runnier and more spreadable, and it shouldn’t get as cracking hard.

[@7he404guy]

You distempered the chocolate with your double-boiler. Melt it at about 30-ish Celsius, or if you've accidentally distempered it then while it's melted put in some tempered chocolate (like crushed chocolate pieces) and cool it slowly. If it's distempered, you're going to get messy fingers trying to eat it and it'll be all melty and dull looking at room temperature. When it's cooling it helps to keep the temperature around 30-ish Celsius because that gives it more chance to temper and get the harder chocolate texture most people are familiar with. The full details are a bit too sciency for a youtube comment though. Wouldn't recommend microwaving personally, I just use a hair dryer even though it takes longer. But keep in mind that chocolate will start to burn around 90 Celsius. Of course, I'm not an expert in chocolate. I just did this exact same thing 6 months ago and happen to have a background in materials science.

[@injunsun]

As a person who routinely burnt chocolate, I thank you for your tips. Mom always said, while she was cooking, "Patience is a Virtue." I get that now. Rushed chocolate is gritty and bitter. Perhaps I need a spliff before trying, to calm my mind. Doing chocolate is like a meditation. Even done wrong, it's not bad, but done right, it's a Path to Heaven.

[@sarahdee374]

I'm going to try this with sunnie seed butter, since I'd be in shock, or dead, if I ate a peanut butter cup. But I'll use your method to adapt for sunnies.

[@JustSurvivetoThrive]

Reese’s is my favorite 🎃💫😍👏🏼 this is the perfect vegan 🌱 version!! Looks delicious! Yum!!

[@Angels-3xist]

When I was little my brother had to raise money in the scouts or something and he had boxes of these things in king size. I literally ate hundreds of packages and just pretended like “oh, I dunno what happened. They must have just vanished somehow.”... not my proudest memory, but as someone equally obsessed, it’s nice to see someone appreciates the details enough to really try to recreate and capture them. Get that waxy chocolate and that over sweet, super salty granular flavor going. Recreating any fast food or snack in vegan form is an awesome and money idea imo. Also totally identify with growing up poor and the food factories being an activity. When I grew up it was the general mills cereal factory making life “interesting”... for severe lack of a better word...

[@mollygreen2830]

I really miss the peppermint candy cane Hershey’s kisses. I have never seen someone attempt to veganize this🤷🏼‍♀️.

A drop of peppermint oil into a batch of Veganised milk chocolate (using oat, soy, or almond milk) would make this an easy confection to mimick.

Doesn't the nutritional yeast give the peanut butter a cheesy taste? Or does the powdered sugar neutralize that?

[@joeypettey4027]

I’d imagine with peanutbutter, the more “nutty” aspect of nutritional yeast comes out!

[@injunsun]

I wonder this too, but I trust her to not lead me astray. I'm gonna try it, and worst case scenario, I have some candy that's a little cheddary. When I was lacto-ovo, I sometimes added a touch of some mild cheese to confections, such as ricotta, and it was fine. Take the leap here, and if it's horrible, you can throw it at me. 😁

[@injunsun]

Oh, CANDACE.... You are now my Great Goddess of choice among the ladies and gentlemen I regularly watch. We are of one heart with Reese's. One question: Did you find Reese's Pieces as disappointing as I did, expecting them to be the same peanut butter as the cups? To me, they are just sickly sweet, with almost no chocolate aroma when breathing out ones nose, and the peanut butter is just wrong. My second and third faves were a tie for second, Peanut M&Ms, and Snickers. I learned around age 10 (1978) that nougat was just air, a way to sell less chocolate for more money, and started just buying either fudge, or Brach's chocolate covered peanuts. Then I noticed, in the early '80s, Brach's did that thing of reducing the ounces per bag while keeping the same price on the same size package! I've never quite been able to recreate either what you did here, nor the Brach's. I tend to burn my chocolate, because I'm impatient. But my fudge brownies with pecans (not walnuts) would make you wanna slap yo mama, especially when I add a tiny pinch of cayenne. Thank you so much for the effort you go to to make our world a better, brighter, tastier place between cradle and grave.

[@HoneyMoser]

There are 2 brands of vegan candy that are like m&ms. I love them! One I think is Unreal and the other brand is No No’s. Both have regular and peanut, and Unreal has a quinoa crunch version too. They all hit that spot, I used to love m&ms!
