Holiday Peanut Butter Cup
I’ve discovered Peanut Butter in my 30’s (Sorry…. I grew up in a house with hazelnut spread) Ahah, no judging here 🙂
Anyhow, I have been catching up since then! To be honest, I am unconditionally in Love with Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups. I can only eat 2 or 3 at a time. Otherwise, it is too much for me.
Now… this bonCOOK recipe from my esteemed Colleague and foodie Leslie, is so delicious, that you will want to eat it only with a spoon. I sure did!
It is so much fun to make, I hope you will enjoy it as much as I did.
As usual, you will find the Step-by-Step Video below the recipe.
Enjoy, Bon Appétit and Happy Holidays!
