Raise your hand if you like Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups. I sure do! As far as I’m concerned, peanut butter and chocolate is one of the most perfect food combinations. When I was growing up, my dad often made homemade peanut butter cups with us. We always made some with white chocolate, some with semisweet, and some with milk. A few weeks ago, while I was still recovering from the birth, I decided that Mr. Handsome and I needed a treat, so I whipped up a batch, using semisweet chocolate chips. They were delicious, as expected. Here’s the recipe:
