Make Reese’s yourself – that’s how it works

Once you have all the ingredients together, you can start making your own Reese’s. We will show you step by step how to do this:

1. Chop the chocolate and then put it in a saucepan. Melt the whole thing in a water bath. What you should consider when melting chocolate, we will show you another practical tip.
2. Pour about a teaspoon of the melted chocolate into the molds. Let them cool and set. Continue to keep the remaining chocolate warm.
3. In the meantime, heat the peanut butter in a water bath or in the microwave to give it an extra soft consistency.
4. Then mix the peanut butter with the powdered sugar and vanilla sugar and stir well.
5. Pour about a teaspoon of the peanut butter mixture onto the cooled chocolate in the molds. Be careful not to let the batter touch the edge as this is the filling. Tip: You can also use a piping bag.
6. Now pour the rest of the chocolate into the molds and gently tap the mold on the table so that the mass can be evenly distributed.
7. Let the whole thing cool down. Once the chocolate has set, you can enjoy the Reese’s.
