[lace-chat] Reese's peanut butter cups

2005-07-14 Thread Lynn Scott
I haven't found them in Australia either, apparently you can get them in a
store somewhere in Sydney, but it is a 2-3 hr drive from here for me with
the traffic, so I have learned to make my own, melt some chocolate into
one of those make at home chocolate trays, swirl it around, I do one cup
at a time, when cool add peanut butter (I have peanuts ground fresh at the
health food store so I don't get the sugar and salt - but for true
authentic taste get the cheap peanut butter as it has lots of both) then I
pour more melted chocolate on top. Pop the tray in the fridge then consume
at will - not quite the same, but a reasonable substitute.

[lace-chat] Reese's peanut butter cups

2005-07-14 Thread Helen
I know that Woolworths in the UK has sold these things at some point, 
certainly when I was younger.  At the time it was probably the only 
chocolate-y thing I didn't like :o)  In London there's also a couple of 
shops that import American and Canadian foods so if you find one of the 
shops you should be able to buy the peanut butter cups there.

Reese's Peanut Butter Cups! Yes, we can get them here and they're kosher. DH
buys them quite often. They're the only sweet thing I will eat willingly,
probably because they also have so much salt in them. I don't have much of a
sweet tooth and chocolate goes moldy around me.  We also have the Reese's
Pieces and something else that came to Israel recently. A friend described 
it as

a chip version of the peanut butter cups. Carol, should I send you a care
package? ;-)

Avital,
amazed to find something in Israel that's not in the UK, but my English DH 
says

he's never seen Reese's there

Apparently my daughter's American work colleague buys them in Asda - so
if we've got them here in Tamworth, the chances are most Asda stores
stock them. But then, Asda are now owned by Walmart.

>not quite the same, but a reasonable substitute.

The trick to make them taste more like a reeses is to add some peanut butter 
in with the melted chocolate.  This changes the consistency slightly and 
makes the chocolate a bit softer like a reeses.  There is a good recipe at   
http://www.topsecretrecipes.com/home.asp


Then add 1/5th of the peanut butter mixture to the chocolate to make them 
perfect. Yum!

I've seen Reese's peanut butter cups around, not in Asda.  But only in about
the last 5 years or so.  Tried one once, and have now had my lifetime's
ration.

Yep, Woolworths in the UK stock them as well as reece pieces which are like  
smarties but with peanut butter in them rather than chocolate.  As I now  
can't have smarties (they are banned as a coeliac) I can have reece pieces 
which  
is something.
 
And Jean, I've bought them in Woolworths in Tamworth before  now!!!
