Homemade Vegan Reese’s

Ingredients

• Reduced Fat Peanut Butter (for the patties)
• Semi-Sweet Chocolate (melted, for coating)
• Graham Crackers
• Powdered Sugar

Steps

1. 1

   First, crush up the graham crackers if you are using them. You’ll want to do this in a food processor to get them as fine as possible.

2. 2

   Mix the graham crackers, powdered sugar and peanut butter with a hand mixer.

3. 3

   The peanut butter mixture will be dry and crumbly at first, but it should be very easy to work with. Soft but not sticky. Honestly, it should be a lot like Play-Doh! You should be able to roll it into a big ball.

4. 4

   Roll about 1 Tbsp (15 – 18g) worth of the mixture into a ball. Form the peanut butter mixture into small patties.

5. 5

   Flatten them into little patties with your hand. But I recommend adding them to a parchment lined baking sheet. Then add a little wax or parchment paper on top.

6. 6

   Then, use something to flatten them (I used a small glass bowl).

7. 7

   Place the peanut butter patties in the freezer (about 20 minutes) to firm up.

8. 8

   Melt the chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl or using a double boiler until smooth.

9. 9

   Coat the chilled peanut butter patties in the melted chocolate.

10. 10

    Allow the chocolate to set before serving.

Notes

The author suggests making a large batch of peanut butter patties and freezing them, then melting chocolate to make one or two cups at a time as desired. Storage Store in the fridge, or at room temp and eat within 3-5 days. Storing them at room temp will give you a softer chocolate experience, just like a real Reese’s. If you store them in the fridge or freezer they will be firmer and snappier.
