Homemade Reese's Peanut Butter Cups are filled with sweet, creamy peanut butter and covered with melt-in-your-mouth chocolate! #inspirationalmomma #homemadereesespeanutbuttercups #peanutbutter #chocolate  #homemade #dessert #desserts #recipe #reeses

In a recent post, I made a huge confession…I am not really a fan of chocolate.  I also stated that there are some exceptions to this issue I have.  If the chocolate is covered, filled, or smothered with something sensational, I will probably give it a try.  This particular recipe fits into that category.  I have tried it, and I love it!  I simply can’t get enough of these Homemade Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups.  Chocolate or not, these sweethearts melt in your mouth and will satisfy anyone’s sweet tooth.  Accompanied with a cold glass of milk, you will be blown away!

Check out my simple recipe below and get ready to taste a piece of heaven!
