Homemade Reese's Peanut Butter Treats

I made these for Easter but these flower shapes could work for any spring celebration.

There are a million recipes online that all vary slightly but this is what I used:

16 oz of powdered sugar

1 and 1/4 cup of peanut butter

1/4 cup of butter

2 tablespoons half&half - or until you reach your desired consistency.

Some recipes also add graham cracker crumbs and/or brown sugar and honestly, the recipe above is approximate because after looking at so many recipes - I just kind of winged it.

Mix ingredients together and shape to your desire.

Put them in the freezer to harden.

Melt one package of Wilton candy melts or other chocolate coating of choice. It works best to put a little shortening in the chocolate so it's a little thinner for dipping. Take peanut butter shapes out of freezer and dip in chocolate coating. I usually use two forks and a spoon when dipping - the spoon to help cover the shape with chocolate and one fork to pull it out of the chocolate from the bottom and another fork to push the piece off of the other fork and onto the parchment paper to set up.

Decorate to your liking.
Happy dipping!

These take patience but they are worth it!
