I’ve never made homemade candy. After seeing this post, I have no idea why! It looks amazing.
My absolute favorite candy ever is chocolate peanut butter cups! I’m afraid if I make these, I’d eat them all myself. Okay, I think I should make these! 🙂
My kids love peanut butter cups. I can’t wait to make this for them.
I didn’t think making peanut butter cups would be so simple. They are delicious and I would love to try it by myself instead of buying them.
My gosh I’m definitely craving these now! Creamy peanut butter and chocolate would hit the spot.
Those looks so cute! And really simple to make. Will have to give them a try sometime.
