Peanut Butter Chocolate Marshmallow Cups
These Peanut Butter Chocolate Marshmallow Cups are a homemade take on Reece’s Peanut Butter cups using just 6 ingredients and a little bit of time make for a perfect simple and sinful dessert.
There’s a real lack of peanut butter-based recipes on this blog, and I’m concerned that it might lead you, dear readers, to think that I don’t like peanut butter. Literally nothing could be further from the truth. I adore peanut butter. Chocolate and peanut butter are one of life’s greatest simple pleasures, and I’ll gladly fight anyone that says differently.
When I go out for ice cream, which is more often than I’d like to admit, my order almost always revolved around peanut butter. Dairy Queen is a peanut butter cup blizzard. Sonic is a peanut butter cup Sonic Blast. Cold Stone is the peanut butter perfection with sweet cream instead of chocolate ice cream. Graeter’s (local Ice Cream shop in Cincinnati – you may have heard of it – Oprah listed it as a favorite thing about 10 years ago or so?) – mint chocolate chip. I’m throwing that one in there so that you know I’m not totally boring.
I also learned a long, long time ago that I can’t keep anything Reece’s in my house, because I will eat ALL of it. I have no self-control when it comes to Reece’s.

Your feelings about peanut butter are my feelings about fluff! What I truly love about this recipe is that we can use more or less chocolate. Thank you for sharing a recipe that I think I might be making quite often!!
These look amazing! You probably meant Reese's. :)
