My favorite candy? Reese’s Cups. We like them frozen..they’re the best. So for Christmas, our stockings were full of lots of candy and Reese’s! You won’t hear me complaining. Remember those commercials that used to play all the time saying, “How (insert name) eats a Reese’s”? I miss them..they always grabbed my attention..unlike 99% of commercials..Ive said it before, but I HATE commercials, which is why I DVR everything. But I digress.
How Alaina eats a Reese’s..Frozen..take one normal bite involving both the ridged edges and some peanut butter, then nip off the edges, and finally, demolish the center. It’s very technical people. Other than that, I like them in these Reese’s Cup Cookies!
Perfect little cookies with my favorite frozen treat chopped up and spread throughout, it doesn’t get much better! You could do this with any candy though. Choose your favorite, freeze it, chop it up and toss.it.in. Enjoy!
