    These Peanut Butter Meltaways are creamy and rich with smooth Peanut Butter that just melts in your mouth! I am super amazed at how easy they really are to make. These are easier than our Homemade Reese’s Eggs that we make and have shared with you. In just a few minutes time you can whip up a batch to serve up this holiday season and they are perfect for gifting. Plus this recipe will be one you will be making all year long. So simple and so yummy!

    When I took my first bite into my Peanut Butter Meltaway I thought I was in heaven! Yes… they are seriously that delish. The smooth peanut butter and chocolate just melt in your mouth!

    I have a slight confession to make. I finished up taking my pics of these bites of yumminess and packaged them into a cottage cheese container (cleaned and washed of course, ha ha). I then placed the dish in to the back of the fridge. I know that the entire family will not even think to open a cottage cheese container (not one family member is a fan of cottage cheese). So my next craving which I do not anticipate being to long I will have myself some Peanut Butter heaven.

    I have a few tins that I am needing to package up for the holidays with candies. I am going to make another quick batch as we get closer to the holidays to gift too!

      What can you use in place of shortening. ?
      These look delicious and easy, but need a substitute ingredient for the shortening.
      Thanks so much.

      Can these be frozen, do you think?
      And the cottage cheese container is a great idea.

      I thought I was the only crazy one! I gave my nephew a Hummus Container full of Toll House Cookies for his Birthday, disguised so that other partygoers would not check inside the container. So Smart to use Cottage Cheese–same idea!

      Oh my gosh! These look delicious!! I’ve pinned the recipe for later and to share with others. Good idea to hide them in a cottage cheese container so they don’t disappear quickly. I’ll have to try that myself. Merry Christmas!

        It made about almost 2 mini muffin pan … almost. Love how easy this was! Can’t wait to try them, glad the recipe made so much! I am trying recipes and a lot of them don’t make more than a few servings, this one is an exception.

        Thanks for posting! Mine was easy to make and are in the fridge cooling.
