    Of COURSE they taste better, and I'll tell you why:

    The eggs lack that weird waxy chocolate rind that's around the cups, so the chocolate is smooth all the way around. This also improves the chocolate:peanut butter ratio. Science!

    Ohhhhhhhh.....

    Mix equal parts by volume of peanut butter and powdered sugar, Voila', you now have the center of a peanut butter cup. Eat as is or spread onto your favorite chocolate bar or just stuff a couple chocolate chips in for the chocolate and peanut butter flavor.

    You're welcome.

    Yeah but the texture. I'm wondering if it's similar?

    Yes it is. I have made my own peanut butter "cups" for years by making these centers and dipping in chocolate. Spreading on a chocolate bar is the quick and dirty way.
    I will be trying this. Thank you !

    The person who gave me the recipe (all 2 ingredients) actually uses a chocolate mold and makes hers in the same cup shape as Reeses. I do balls and dip because it is easier.

    Ok, I srsly just went into my kitchen and made this, I put it on a kit kat cause that's all I had on hand. It was really yummy! The only issue is I think I pulled a muscle trying to mix it but it was worth it ;)

    Good, but definitely don't get the same tingly sensation.

    I just believe there is nothing better than the combo of pb and chocolate.

    Hazelnuts and chocolate.

    *mic drop*


    Though PB and choco is also stellar.

    Stahp trolling! You're just here to rattle our cages. This thread CLEARLY doesn't apply to you. If you don't have anything supportive to add, why bother posting? :p JK--Nutella and Ferrero Rocher are the bomb, too. They just don't make them in egg shape, covered in Hershey's/Reese's chocolate...yet...

    Also, the random snack I tried at someone suggestion was awesome: walker's shortbread sandwich with crunchy peanut butter between.

    I am with a PP in that I have always passed on the eggs thinking they wouldn't be as good as the PB cups. Now I will HAVE to fit some into my calories this season. Today I had a Doubletree cookie and it was wonderful to fit that into my calories, but that's a whole 'nother, drool-worthy thread:)

    I will just have to make sure I only buy one or two, and not a "dozen" eggs!

    I don't know if this has been posted yet but here is a recipe for the eggs. I haven't made it, but my friend did and said they were great.

    I can't help wondering if the passion for chocolate "eggs" exemplifies the true challenges inherent in managing what we eat in a responsible way. I suppose if I could just eat one and be satisfied I would have managed the Dopamine effect and I probably wouldn't require MFP. Not wanting to put a damper on the discussion but it is interested to me that there is a lot of joking and marvelling at this type of food when (at least for me) this food choice has made such a harmful contribution to my health and weight management. Just saying.....

    I was never a big candy bar person...or candy, really, but every spring when these come out, I have to get a half dozen and have one a day for a week. I'm ready for my yearly indulgence :D

    We don't get Reese's eggs here (UK) and it's not fair! Although it's probably a blessing, the chances of me stopping at one are minimal.

    The peanut butter eggs, or any other food for that matter, did not make me fat. It was overeating those foods that made me fat.
    Don't worry about dampering anyone's discussions as some of us, and probably the OP as well, have learned that moderation is the way to go. It's pretty nice not having to be mad at or scared of food (discussions).
