Reese\u2019s chocolates are incredibly popular and much loved, although I only discovered them fairly recently myself (we rarely buy ready-made sweets). It turned out that the children absolutely adore them, and my husband simply cannot stop eating them ;). So I decided to make a homemade version. These homemade Reese\u2019s-style chocolates are definitely for peanut butter lovers \u2014 the contrast between sweet and salty flavours is wonderfully pronounced here. And although I usually reach for dark chocolate in most recipes (you probably already know that about me), here only milk chocolate truly works; I added just a little dark chocolate to balance the sweetness.<\/em> They are incredibly quick to make and taste absolutely amazing \u2014 so let\u2019s get started!<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Makes approximately 15\u201320 chocolates.<\/span><\/p>\n

Ingredients for the homemade Reese\u2019s-style chocolates:<\/span><\/p>\n

\n
• \u00bd cup peanut butter, smooth or crunchy<\/li>\n
• \u00bc cup plus 1 tbsp icing sugar<\/li>\n
• 1 tsp vanilla bean paste or vanilla extract<\/li>\n
• a large pinch of salt<\/li>\n
• 250 g milk chocolate<\/li>\n
• 50 g dark chocolate<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

  Place the first four ingredients into the bowl of a mixer and mix until smooth and pliable. You can also simply stir everything together thoroughly with a spoon. Break or chop the milk and dark chocolate into pieces, then melt gently over a bain-marie or in the microwave. Leave to cool slightly.<\/p>\n

  Prepare small petit four or praline paper cases. Spoon 1 teaspoon of melted chocolate into the bottom of each paper case and use a pastry brush to coat the sides lightly with chocolate. Chill in the fridge until completely set.<\/p>\n

  Shape the peanut butter mixture into small balls roughly the size of hazelnuts and place them into the prepared cases. Cover each praline with about 1 teaspoon of melted chocolate and smooth the surface. Chill in the fridge until the chocolate has fully set. Once firm, remove from the fridge and serve.<\/p>\n

  The chocolates do not need to be stored in the fridge, although they can be refrigerated if keeping for a longer period.<\/p>\n

  Note: if using chocolate moulds instead of paper cases, the amount of chocolate needed may vary. It is best to start by melting a smaller amount first, for example 200 g.<\/p>\n

  Enjoy!<\/p>\n
