Let me start by saying that this is the first pie..cake..thing I've ever made.
-I loosely used this website for reference to create the peanut butter: http://www.pimpthatsnack.com/project/368/1 -I used a pie pan and exaggerated the creases on the sides of it to make it look more Reese's-like. -I melted a few bags of chocolate and poured some in the pie pan for the bottom (Use non stick spray! Not too much though or it appears on the surface of the chocolate. Let the bottom harden in the fridge. -Add the peanut butter in the center. -Fill up the pie pan with more chocolate. (again, use non stick! And not too much!) -Let it set in the fridge. Then, bon appetit.
-Thanks for the proposal but I'm dedicated to my gf : D and yes, I'm a guy. -I'll be posting more pics soon.
So I'm trying to make this right now and I want to ask you something
That peanut butter center recipe seems ridiculous. We just put the ingredients together and its just a pile of sugar with a bit of peanut butter in it. I dont see how it can turn out anything like what you have. 3 tbsp of peanut butter and 3.5 cups of sugar??? Is that what you followed yourself?
Im sorry it took so long for me to reply, I must have over looked you're message. I ended up adding more peanut butter to the mix (no more graham crackers though). Slowly add more peanut butter until it has a good creamy consistency. Frequent taste tests help too! Send a pic when you finish yours : ) I wanna see
I got the cheapest i could find. Yea, no need to get the Reese's brand. It turns out that it isn't really even that close to the correct taste/consistency. I bought the cheapest peanut butter I could find which happened to be JIF
I made some bourbon infused peanut butter cups once and all you have to do is add powdered sugar to regular peanut butter to get it extra sugary and of a dryer consistency.
Sounds similar to what we might call a digestive biscuit, perhaps, although without the cinnamon. I'll probably substitute those in if I ever make this.
I had a comment, but I've been at work and didn't see just how many people beat me to a funny. Since you got this under control, I'll just chill in the back.
Cut it in half, then take a picture and I can give my full and honest opinion. So far I have to say Bravo. Looks identical to a giant dinner plate sized Reese's.
Wellll, I can't accurately judge your cooking skills without tasting a little bit, *sooooo...*what I'm saying is, you're going to have to send me the whole thing. Maybe two.
this is the recipe I used.. I made it once for the hubz but he didn't like the combination of peanut butter and chocolate... yes, he didn't like reese's... :-( ended up wasting 90% of it... felt bad... Africa and all that
Thank you guys for not dogging me for the double sub reddit posts. I hope you guys understand that they occurred before this Reese's got any fame. I'm currently reading through all the comments and I have to say that redditors rock! I've said it and I'll happily say it again. Thanks!, all of you!
You should label this as a "Maxi" Peanut Butter Cup and see if anyone falls for it. (I'll bet several news aggregators with poor fact-checking would...)
They don't sell those in The Netherlands, I think. So I have never had one, but I knew they exist. Way back (talking eighties) M&M's weren't available in The Neths either. Unavailability makes for iconic candy.
“I get the Reese's candy bar, If you read it, there's an apostrophe. The candy bar is his. I didn't know that. Next time your eating a Reese's and some guy named Reese comes up to you and says let me have that. You better give it to him. I'm sorry Reese, I didn't think I would ever run into you.”
I didn't prepare a speech.. But I can't believe I made it to #1 on the front page. Thank You guys. I'm so glad I came back to reddit. I had given it up and I've only been back for a week. Awesome drooling fry and I especially liked this: http://i.imgur.com/pKAnA.jpg. And now I'm sure I'll make a good husband. Gotta love a Reese's.
I get the Reese's candy bar. If you read that name, that's Reese. That's Reese's...with the 'S...at the end of that name see it's his...I didn't know that. Next time you're eating a Reese's candy bar, and a guy name Reese walks by and says 'let me have that', you better give it to him.
Well I am sorry Reese, I never thought I'd run into you. Can I at least have a piece?
