Notes: Peanut butter cups were created Nov 15, 1928 by H.B. Reese, a former dairy farmer and shipping foreman for Milton S. Hershey. After his third attempt to start his own company, he created the peanut butter cup in his basement.
The mini peanut butter cups can be purchased in an unwrapped version.
This makes it much easier!
I searched for a recipe with peanut butter cups for a long time because it is my son's favorite candy.
