You're hurting this dude's feelings.


(My boyfriend hates peanut butter too. I guess it's mainly an American thing.)

Who the fuck is he?

Ordinary Snickers have peanuts. They changed our Mars Bar (which was similar to a Snickers bar, but with almonds) to Snickers Almond, I guess to make it sell better.

I can give you a recipe to make your own peanut butter cups, they're almost just like Reese's The trick is that it's not JUST peanut butter inside.

Weird.

I'd love the recipe, please!

Oh, speaking of spreads. I bet you guys don't have apple butter down there, do ya?

hey peeps.

i forgot how great sheryl crow is

oh, and i saw how to make homemade peanut butter cups once i should give it a try.

 

[RavenBlue]

Oh yes, I've had homemade peanut butter cups. They're like crack

 

[zuropa_fit]

Try salted peanuts and M&Ms.

I make a snack mix of salted peanuts, M&Ms and raisins. Or rather I used to before I started getting all healthy and shit

This thread is turning cruel, since I have no way to get to a store right now to purchase some of this 'chocolate'

I have some chocolate but it's M&M's and ice cream

 

[bono_212]

I'll second the sentiment that homemade peanut butter cups are crack.

 

[RavenBlue]

I'm meh when it comes to peanut butter

 

[KhanadaRhodes]

Oh yes, I've had homemade peanut butter cups. They're like crack

i could even try making homemade peanut butter i feel like doing all this cooking/baking/candy making but i'm in no shape to do any of it

Raisins have no place in that kind of mix

 

[RavenBlue]

But i like peanut butter with chocolate

in fact i'll take chocolate with just about anything

*gets on a plane*

 

[zuropa_fit]

I beg to differ, mon ami. It adds just the right amount of chewy.

ian! sup

chocolate chip pickles


sorry about that, that was a random brain fart

I'd love the recipe, please!

It's pretty simple, you need a muffin pan lined with paper liners (use a mini muffin pan if you want smaller peanut butter cups) chocolate chips (semisweet is fine, you can also use milk chocolate, but it gets a little bit sweet), peanut butter, and powdered sugar.

You first melt no more than half of the chocolate, and spread it thinly on the inside of the paper cups, using the spoon to get it at least halfway up the sides of the cups. Set these aside (or in the fridge) to set up.

Next you need to prepare your peanut butter mixture. The original recipe I followed called for 1 and a half cups of peanut butter and half a cup of powdered sugar, although I didn't really follow that, and did it by eye. The result should be thicker than peanut butter and not quite as sticky. If it gets too thick to mix, add a tiny bit of water.

Fill the chocolate cups with this peanut butter mixture (you can use a pastry bag to make it easier), but don't spread it against the bare paper of the cups.

Melt the rest of the chocolate and use it to top the peanut butter, making sure the chocolate goes down the sides to seal the 'walls' of the cups. Let set, and then enjoy.

Monday bloody Monday (as in, I have to go out tomorrow)

No, a higher peanut to M&M ratio does that.

 

[RavenBlue]

If you want to post deep into the night on superthreads, eat a few homemade peanut butter cups. Seriously, you'll be bouncing off the ceiling.

That's what gummy bears are for.

Saved. Thanks, I'll try that on Wednesday.

Unless you absolutely hate raisins, I ask that you give them their due chance. I think the mix needs something soft. I suppose you could substitute another dried fruit... just not banana

I like the way you think.

Well, superthread. Goodnight. Thanks for keeping me from actually accomplishing anything tonight. Accomplishment is overrated.

I love dried banana. It actually might work well
