Every year for Easter I can expect a good number of Reese’s peanut butter eggs in my basket. Kim knows I love me some holiday Reese’s treats — they have the perfect chocolate-to-peanut butter ratio — and I can’t go any major holiday without getting my Reese’s fix. This year however, Kim found a recipe for home-made peanut butter eggs and she and Raine spent a whole afternoon making a special batch for me
Kim tried to hide them in the back of the fridge so she could surprise me with them on Easter, but apparently I was a little too snoopy and found them while trying to figure out what to make for dinner. Obviously I couldn’t wait until Easter for them, so I had some that night. I had high expectations, but I was blown away. These things are quite possibly the best confection ever made. Every single day it is an exercise in self-control to not just devour all the rest of them. It’s a good thing they are a pain in the butt to make, otherwise my waistline would be in some serious trouble.
Mmmmm… Maybe I’ll go have another one right now.
DON’T give me that recipe. It would only lead to my destruction.
These cookies looks yummy too and involve reeses peanut butter cups. I think I’ll try them out this week.

Happy belated Easter. It looked like a lot of fun (via Raine’s blog)
Do give me the recipe. I’m too lazy to make them that often, but it’s good to have a recipe like that handy for those days I really need a treat. The reese’s eggs are my faves, too.
