Homemade Reeces Cups
Chocolate is basically a combination of cocoa solids, sugar, milk, and vanilla. INGREDIENTS: Chocolate Candy: 3 cups sugar 3 cups milk 5 tablespoons cocoa 1 tablespoon butter 1 teaspoon vanilla DIRECTIONS: Combine the sugar, milk, and cocoa in a saucepan and bring it to the boil while stirring. Boil until the mixture reaches the soft ball stage at 234-240 degrees F.
Remove from heat and stir in the butter and vanilla until mixture is creamy. Pour onto a buttered tray and allow to cool. Cut into squares and store in an airtight container.
INGREDIENTS: 1 (16 0z.) jar peanut butter 1 1/2 c. graham cracker crumbs 1 stick butter 1 box (10 oz.) powdered sugar DIRECTIONS: Mix above together, if too dry add more peanut butter. Dip in chocolate or paint candy mold and then put mold into freezer for a few minutes. Add above mixture. Put more chocolate on top.
Place molds with candy back into freezer until candy is hard and releases easily from mold.
INGREDIENTS: 1 2/3 cups dark chocolate, chips or pieces 6 tablespoons whipping cream (reduce to 1/4 c. if adding liqueur) 1 tablespoon cold butter or margarine, cut into pieces 1 teaspoon vanilla 1/2 cup chopped nuts, toffee, powdered sugar, or cocoa powder DIRECTIONS: Place chocolate in a bowl and set aside. Heat whipping cream over medium heat until steaming, stirring constantly. Pour over chocolate and let set covered for 5 minutes. Uncover and mix well until smooth. Add butter and vanilla and stir through. Chill for about 1-2 hours until firm enough to form into balls. Form 1" balls and roll in desired topping. What could be easier!
