Honestly I feel that no other peanut butter cup can be better than Reese’s . But your video proved helpful

[@inthekitchenwithmatt]

lol thanks! Yeah I don't even eat Reese's anymore, because I like homemade so much better. Out of all my treats I make, I think I make these the most. haha

[@possums1010]

Thanks for this! It's the best recipe for p.b. cups I've found. I tweaked it a bit & added a little brandy to the p.b., & used semi-sweet chocolate chips. Also very tasty to add some rice crispies type cereal to the p.b. . Thanks again -was a very easy & quick addition to the Christmas goodies!

Matt, Thanks for the great recipe and method. I've been making these the hard way. Your method of rolling the peanut butter into a ball and spooning the chocolate on top and on sides is MUCH easier. I did make some with Kahlua and Almond butter. Awesome.

[@laurenpiantino8312]

They look excellent! I'm not sure of the combination of peanut butter and chocolate (tho I do like peanut butter); but you showed how very easy they are to make. Maybe one could improvise with perhaps a cherry in the center, or a small marshmallow... Of course, the cherry would have to be soaked in brandy, French Brandy naturally, but I would imagine that one's imagination could run away with them on ideas for the center of these cups. In France they make a rather delicious chocolate with Brandy inside them. They color the chocolate in different shades too, and give the chocolate a spiky rough edge to it. They are amazing! I so wish I knew how this is achieved, and how they put the brandy inside. Any clue on how that is done, Matt?

[@inthekitchenwithmatt]

Chocolate and peanut butter is one of the best combinations ever. I don't drink alcohol, so have never tried the French Brandy chocolates, although I have heard of them. I imagine they inject it with a syringe or something. Not really sure.

[@CompliKaty]

I make a point to look through all your videos and try everything at least once. I love that everything you make is budget friendly, including the tools needed. We love saving money, but being foodies at heart, it's not always obvious to have the tastebuds agree with the wallet. Thank you for making these recipes possible for us, Matt. These cups are on the block for today, and like everything else I have made of yours, this too will be delicious I am sure of it.

Been making these a long time now, use cooking chocolate same texture and tast as Reese cup, soft enough to complement filling as you bite into it TAST EXCACTLY LIKE REESE CUP, also, roll a ball of filling about a teaspoon (little more) Lay on counter and flatern with palm of hand to disc shape a tiny bit smaller than bottom of cup case, make before you melt your chocolate and lift with knife under disc into chocolate cup, One teaspoon chocolate, one heap teaspoon filling in disc, and one sooonfull of chocolate, done

Nah, I don't like them like that. When I first use to make them years and years ago I use to put it in. But the originals don't have graham cracker in them either. I have made them several different ways over the years, in my opinion this is the best, haha.

[@priscillanieto3322]

This recipe is great, but Justin's Organics makes a dark chocolate peanut butter cup as well as varieties with alternative nut butters.

[@inthekitchenwithmatt]

Like I said in the video you can use whatever chocolate you want and whatever nut butter that you want, especially homemade organic peanut butter. And making them at home will be much cheaper than buying the Justin Organics ones. At Walmart it is like $2 and you only 1 package of 2 peanut butter cups. That is the beauty of making them at home, much cheaper, and you can make many different varieties and combinations.

Hi, this looks great but i have a question. Peanut butter in regular Reese’s is very salty (thats why i love it). But you don’t put any salt. Instead of you add sweet. Is it really tastes like Reese’s or something similar with chocolate and peanut?

[@inthekitchenwithmatt]

Great question, I don't like the salt in the Reese's that is why for me these are "Better Than Reese's". But you can always add 1/2 tsp. of salt in with the peanut butter if you like. The best thing to do is to make them and try them yourself. And see what you think. :) Maybe do a side by side taste test. :)

Adam that is a pretty specific filling it is hard to match the exact texture and taste because it is made in a factory, and also has preservatives to make the shelf life so much better.

[@XPATHGAMES]

Yo Matt can i use regular Sugar or Brown Sugar For This

[@inthekitchenwithmatt]

You can try it, but I don't think it will work very well, the reason why the powdered sugar works is it also helps to turn the consistency of the peanut butter into more of like a play dough, without making it too sweet. If you don't have powdered sugar, what I recommend is just put a layer of chocolate down first in the paper cup then put that in the fridge for like 10 minutes to firm up. Then just spoon normal peanut butter on top, without adding any extra sugar, then add another layer of chocolate. I just think it will get way to sweet if you use regular white granulated sugar or brown sugar.

Hi Matt, how r u ? I like to ask your opinion about bread making...why does homemade bread smell or taste too yeasty ??

[@inthekitchenwithmatt]

Hello Chua, it depends on the yeast you are using, and how much you are using. Also too long of rising time might make it taste yeasty. If the recipe calls to let the dough rise for 2 hours, or until doubled, if the dough has doubled after only 45 minutes or an hour, then it is ready. Also if you are having trouble with yeasty bread, try using a little less yeast.

I love candy

[@inthekitchenwithmatt]

candy is good!

[@dorisbrinkerhoff8124]

use your bouble boiler so it doesnt burn

[@inthekitchenwithmatt]

It doesn't burn if you do it correctly like I mentioned bursts of 30 seconds and stirring. The double boiler method is also a good way to melt chocolate if desired. I have many videos that already show that method. I have been melting chocolate for many many many years.

[@NaeemKhan-ho3ul]

Great video Matt..... Like the beard 👍👍

[@inthekitchenwithmatt]

Thank you Naeem! hahaha :) Yeah the facial hair is a new thing for me, I am not used to it yet, so it is pretty itchy haha. I am only doing it for Halloween though.

[@NaeemKhan-ho3ul]

@@inthekitchenwithmatt lol ok you look good with it 👌👍

[@inthekitchenwithmatt]

Well thank you! :)

[@NaeemKhan-ho3ul]

No problem Matt hope my comment made your day a little better and made you smile

[@inthekitchenwithmatt]

@@NaeemKhan-ho3ul Yes it did!! :) :) Thank you so much.

more sugar than peanut butter :O this must be a lot sweeter...

[@inthekitchenwithmatt]

The powdered sugar isn't that sweet. You need something to make the peanut butter not sticky and get the right texture. That is what the powdered sugar does. But yes they are sweet they are a dessert and are supposed to be sweet. :) :)

[@johnnydlc452]

There's a easy way to make Reese's

[@inthekitchenwithmatt]

For sure! It doesn't get much easier than this. haha

[@danamccarty4542]

You didn't give the measurements like cups in teaspoons

[@inthekitchenwithmatt]

Look in the description box you will find all the measurements.

[@rita-vr8ch]

My sister is being dumb and using normal sugar instead of powdered sugar

[@inthekitchenwithmatt]

haha :)

I made his cookies they didn’t work

[@inthekitchenwithmatt]

Isabella, these aren't cookies. When you say they didn't work what do you mean? How didn't they work? I have made them countless times, they definitely work.

[@isabellamaria5079]

In The Kitchen With Matt I mean I tried making your cookies and I don’t no why but it came out of the oven raw do you have any tips

[@leesweets4110]

If you dont eat your peanut butter cups frozen then youre sacrilegious.

[@inthekitchenwithmatt]

LOL. Um no. While they are good frozen, I guarantee you most people do not eat them frozen.

[@sherlenehamilton6724]

How are you suppossed to make these not knowing an quanitied you never said

[@inthekitchenwithmatt]

Look down in the description box the full list of ingredients are there. But you can make them without the amounts. Start with some peanut butter add a bit of butter then start adding powdered sugar until you get the play dough consistency. This is one recipe that doesn't have to be exact by any means.

[@extrasmack]

Honesty, I don't get why everyone who shares this same store bought peanut butter and confectioners sugar recipe raves about it being "better than" Reese's. I was first taught this recipe years ago by my second grade science teacher. I found it mediocre then and still do now. Way too sweet and completely wrong consistency. Gave away all the ones I made. So far nothing rivals a real Reese's cup for my taste. Will keep searching because being able to make my own would be plain cool. In the meantime I'll continue to buy Reese's when the craving strikes.

[@inthekitchenwithmatt]

To each their own. Everyone has their own tastes. Reese's is too salty for me. I prefer homemade hands down. Plus you can use all kinds of different nut butters and different kinds of chocolate. Like a 70 percent godiva or lindt dark chocolate bar. Usually when I make these for a party I do an assortment especially of dark and milk chocolate varieties. Also Paul have you ever thought that people like making this easy homemade version because they know exactly what is going into them? That isn't my reason, I don't get too hung up with that stuff and don't mind eating store bought or processed food, but a lot of people are more health conscious then me, LOL. Anyways, if on your search you find a better recipe send it my way I will try it out. 👍

[@extrasmack]

@@inthekitchenwithmatt Fair enough, Matt. Perfectly understandable, different tastes etc. Also being able to experiment with the different chocolates is one of the main things that I find so enticing about the idea of homemade cups. Glad you found a recipe that works for you. If I do ever find one I like I'll be sure to share it. While you and I may not share the exact same flavor profile preferences, I'm sure with your platform you'd make plenty of other folks happy by providing an alternative recipe. Cheers!

[@inthekitchenwithmatt]

@@extrasmack Thanks Paul! Yeah it is fun to be able to make a variety of flavors for people, and then poll them to see which ones they like the best. haha. Have a great weekend! :)

[@luh_crayy]

I want to make them but the amount of sugar you out scared me

[@inthekitchenwithmatt]

hahaha, powdered sugar while made from granulated sugar is not the same as far as calories, etc. For example if you were substituting powdered sugar for granulated, you would need 1 3/4 cup for 1 cup of granulated. But at any rate, peanut butter cups are supposed to be sweet. :) You can reduce the sugar a bit, but then the peanut butter gets super sticky and his hard to work with. But if you are making them, they are your peanut butter cups, so make them how you like. :) :) You can't go wrong and are easy to make your own variation.

[@SERPO_]

“Better than Reese's Peanut Butter Cups” No.

[@inthekitchenwithmatt]

Yes. :) Have you tried them? Or do you just think that. If not, make them and do a comparison.

[@SERPO_]

@@inthekitchenwithmatt sorry nothing beats the original , i haven't tried this but i have tried similar recipes and i dont think its better its just good but not better than reese's

[@inthekitchenwithmatt]

@@SERPO_ Try this one, you may be surprised. :) everyone I talk to that eats these like them better than Reese's. But everyone has their own tastes. haha.

[@maschienle328]

That's waaay too much sugar

[@inthekitchenwithmatt]

Not really. Powdered sugar is totally different then granulated sugar. Don't knock it until you try it. ;)

[@maschienle328]

@@inthekitchenwithmatt I guess... It just hurt my teeth while watching but I'll let you know when I've tried

[@inthekitchenwithmatt]

hahaha yeah, well peanut butter cups in general even store bought ones are high in sugar to begin with. I would suggest trying them as is first, and then play around with the amounts. Or if you want a healthier version, I made a video called Keto Peanut Butter cups which are made with sugar free chocolate chips and there is no sugar added to the peanut butter. ;)

[@adamburdt8794]

If you dont have butter to use you shouldn't be cooking

[@inthekitchenwithmatt]

A lot of people don't use butter Adam. If they are allergic to dairy, or maybe they are Vegan, etc. I love butter and use it all the time. But not everyone feels that way. So don't judge them too harshly. :)
