Homemade Reese’s Eggs
Last week I purchased a few Reese’s eggs while checking out at the grocery. It was honestly a battle in the house as EVERYONE wanted more. I decide it was time to have our own homemade Reese’s eggs. So, I hopped in the kitchen and this creation was perfect! The texture and flavors were spot on. With just a few ingredients and a bit of time (and messy hand, ha ha) we can have unlimited Reese’s Peanut butter Eggs at home. You can use any Peanut butter with this recipe. I used Reese’s so I could convince the kiddos that they were made with Reese’s PB , ha ha! I found it at Remke.

I am so excited for Easter this year. I know spring weather is almost here and all the spring colors are arriving in the stores. Many of the stores are putting out all of the Easter items. This year I plan to make up quite a few of these Homemade Peanut Butter Eggs and other candy and chocolates to make special Easter Baskets. I figure I can make up some yummy treats and wrap them in treat bags with pretty ribbons.
Stay tuned for many GREAT Easter treats and DIY. I have so many planned and I am eager to share them all with you. Do you have a favorite Easter candy? I would love to hear about yours!
