Peanut Butter Cups - No Bake, No Cook, No Fail - The Hillbilly Kitchen

These homemade peanut butter cups taste like Reese's peanut butter cups and they're a lot cheaper plus they're fun and easy to make with the kids.
They're no bake, no cook, no fail. If you want to spend the time, you can shape them to look identical to Reese's.
You can buy the candy cups at Walmart to make them look like miniature Reese's for a penny each.

One hint I learned was... spray your measuring cup with Pam before you measure your peanut butter. It comes out/releases easier.

[@ksharpe8137]

Instead of putting the chocolate in the microwave I have been using a small crockpot it keeps a chocolate till you’re finished dipping your candy♥️

[@stephanieyancey4414]

I LLLOVE this idea!

[@BaloosCluesOriginal]

Good idea!

[@donnapollock]

me too.

[@lillielockwood4857]

Great idea!

[@Laura-ht6vs]

That’s a great idea and if you don’t have a small crockpot you could use an electric popery burner it’s basically the same thing.

[@vikkibyington3066]

I have never been able to bake, make candy, etc. this looks like something maybe I could do. Love your videos, your tips, and your character.

[@Ramona328]

My grandma always made these. When she dipped them, she used toothpicks so there was no mess while removing from your chocolate.☺️☺️☺️

[@marciaelliott1562]

I also use tooth picks.

Looks great! I add a touch of oil to my measuring cup and smooth it around. Whatever you put in: peanut butter, honey, molasses, whatever, slides out easy.

I used to teach candy making for Wilton. I couldn't have done or explained it better. You always do such a good job... My heart is in Kentucky since my family roots are there. In Washington State, (their all Blue,) you dare not say that your a "Hillbilly," though that's what I am at heart. I grew up in a family where I knew all my Aunts, Uncles, and Cousins. and we spent a lot of time together. So we just said: "We're , Mountain Williams, y'all."

[@jackietucker8942]

These look great. I made your Two Ingredient Fudge with my quilting student today. She's 10 and loves chocolate like I do. Just as you said, the bowl didn't get hot, and in a little over an hour WE were eating delicious fudge. Winner Winner Chicken Dinner.

I love buckeyes. My mom made them each Christmas and gave every family she knew a tray. 💕

[@debbiewidner5676]

A trick I use when dipping peanut butter balls is to use a toothpick. I put a whole pecan on top to cover the toothpick hole!

[@sherriehaynes8811]

That sounds better yet. Do you roast the pecans?

[@coolstamper]

Or you could add a chocolate/white chip also, or any other little candy garnish.

[@marygonzales5957]

Yes!!! Now your bringing back Met. My momma's. Oh Mercy my parents are in heaven How I miss them both

[@toniconway7307]

I always use the cheaper brands of peanut butter. They are usually a little oiler, and give the sugar that much more taste.

[@mikewrasman5103]

Like the house brands?😎

[@anamedrano26]

Just wanted to drop in and say thank you for all of these wonderful tutorial's.

[@audreyhester7258]

The candies look store bought, it's good seeing how you make them. I never tried to make Peanut Butter cups before, but will try.

[@grandmapatty1493]

This is similar to our no bake PB fudge. My kids baby sitter made it for my kids close to 30 years ago. She used 1 & 1/4 stick of butter, 1 pound of confectionery sugar, 1 cup of peanut butter, 1 tsp. vanilla. Mix it up, press it into a 9X13 pan, slice it, and put it in the fridge. I use the same recipe for making buckeyes ( I'm from OH the buckeye state ). I can't wait to try your recipe, and I can't believe I don't have one of those cookie baller thingamajigs. You are so natural on camera; it's just like coming over for a visit. Thank you so much!!!

[@TheHillbillyKitchen]

+Grandma Patty Thank you! You are very kind. Stop by for a visit anytime :) You can pick up one of them scoopers at Walmart for about $7. I have had several and I like that one pretty good.

I've been making these for years! I sift my powdered sugar, makes them creamier!!

I always mix powdered sugar in my Kitchen Aid stand mixer. You can put a towel over it when you start to mix if you're concerned about a mess.

Those look great and easy to make. I think you’re right about refrigerating the peanut butter before you dip them also using tongs rather than a fork or spoon would be easier.

I was thinking toothpicks to spear then dip

rather than adding more sugar to get the right consistency, add powdered milk. It won't change the flavor, just makes the peanut butter mixture a little stiffer.

You are very kind to say such sweet things what a gift to those of us who appreciate seeing how kind people can be towards one another...and its a great demonstration and food for thought for those who are only focused on how it might benefit themselves and who notices something about other people what do i care and why would i bother who wants to hear a compliment from a stranger or the worse kind of person i dont care about this person why is it my job to say anything shes a stranger and i dont owe her anything its not my place to make a personal comment ...to which i say...yes it is everyones job to be kind if the good Lord presented you with this event and you noticed some wonderful things you have not only a responsibility but a duty to answer and meet that urge with the very soul you have an understanding like knowing that God made this awesome person look at how wonderful they are and how kind of them to take tge time to share with hundreds of thousands of strangers a gift God gave them their born talent their natural gift, if you miss an opportunity to be kind loving supportive and unselfish then you are refusing what God put in your heart to show that person Gods love so when you show love and appreciation when you compliment someone you are allowing God to work through you. You are after all not strangers we are all brothers and sisters of but one Father.
