Peanut Butter Cup Recipe

This is my favourite chocolate, i always ask hubby and friends to get this from abroad. Not only it taste amazing, you can add them to baked goodies to make them even more delicious.

The Hershey Company Reeses Peanut Butter Cups are an American delicacy consisting of a chocolate cup filled with peanut butter. H. B. Reese, a former dairy farmer and shipping foreman for Milton S. Hershey, invented them on November 15, 1928. Reese quit his position at Hershey to launch his own candy company. A moulded chocolate confection with a peanut butter filling inside is known as a peanut butter cup. Peanut butter cups are one of the most popular sweet treats in the United States. They are welcome to stay at home.

I wanted to recreate the recipe at home. When i tried it, it was so easy to make and it tasted really yummy.
