My Elisabeth LOVES Reeses cups. I mean loves loves loves 'em! But, unfortunately, that is a luxury we are unable to buy here. So, when I saw this recipe on Pinterest, I decided to try it for my girl. Then, I read the ingredients. Oh dear...can't get all of those either. So, I made a few changes and decided to go for it. The result? Reeses Peanut Butter Cups! They were fabulous! It was so easy and I didn't even have to fire up the oven or stove! (That's a definite blessing in this weather!) And I had one happy girl!
St. Barths Reeses Cups (Do you like the name? :o)

2 cups Vanilla Wafers ground fine in a food processor

Aw, what a good mother you are. I just know your daughter LOVED them!
ReplyDeleteWe can't get Reeses cups in the southern Caribbean either, and they are my husband's favorite. We can get all of the ingredients of your St. Barths version, so we will try them.
ReplyDeleteThat glowing face says it all! St. Barth's Reese's Cups are a hit. :)
ReplyDeleteGracie and I think we should definitely try these :).
ReplyDeleteWe can't do peanut butter due to allergies but I think I may try Almond butter. :)They sound so yummy.
