Summer Dessert Ideas Using Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups

When you first start dating, it’s exciting, and you always want to spend time with your potential significant other. Then if things work out and like turns into love you get married, start having kids and inevitably things change. Work needs to be done, laundry is piled up, and the kids need your constant attention, or so it seems. However, finding time to have a date night and even affording a night out on the town can be difficult.

But marital dating is just as important as balancing your checkbook.

What about having a night in?

First, I went to Walmart to pick up a few items: REESE’S Peanut Butter Cups (her favorite) and a few bottles of ice-cold Coke.

I dug around through my stash of table decor items and came up with some valentine plates. Now, I know it’s not Valentine’s Day (but you could use this idea for that too), but these plates have cute sayings on them, which fit perfectly with the words on the REESE’S Peanut Butter Cups. Plus, you don’t have to wait until Valentin’s Day to show just how much you love the special person in your life. When my husband and I work together, he’s in charge of the recipes and preparing them, and I’m in charge of making the table look fancy!

The Kiss Me and Love Me heart plates work well in this colorful table setting. I was able to find bottles of Coke with both of their names on them at Walmart. Walmart has the widest and most organized selection of Coca-Cola personalized 20 oz. Bottles I’ve ever seen.

And since they are still very much high school sweethearts, getting the REESE’S Peanut Butter Cups with “My Fave” on them turned out to be the perfect sweet touch. {Tip: You can only find these REESE’S Cups with the personalized messages on them at Walmart}

 

Summer Dessert Ideas Using Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups

They both have a serious sweet tooth, so we created several different recipes involving REESE’S Peanut Butter Cups and Coke!

 

REESE’S Peanut Butter Cup S’more Sundae:

• 2 Scoops Vanilla Ice Cream
• 2 Graham Crackers
• 2 Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups
• 2-3 Marshmallows
• 1-2 Tablespoons Unsalted Butter
• 1-2 Tablespoons Hershey’s Chocolate Syrup

You can’t go wrong with S’mores.  So building a REESE’S Peanut Butter Cup S’more Sundae is like a Nobel Prize-winning endeavor. 

For this easy recipe, I wanted to add a little something extra to the Graham crackers. So, I took out a non-stick skillet and set it over medium heat. I added a tablespoon of butter and let it completely melt. I then took my Graham crackers and broke them along the perforated lines. Then I toasted them, make sure not to let them get too charred. Burnt anything isn’t the flavor you want in a sundae. After they were toasted, I flipped them over and toasted the other side as well; afterward, I set them aside. Next, I placed on the tip of a wooden spike (the kind used for making kabobs) two marshmallows, and over the eye of the stove-top, I browned the marshmallows until perfectly golden, then set those aside as well. Finally, we get to the good part, take two REESE’S Peanut Butter Cups and slice them into small pieces and set them aside too.

Putting it all together:

In a small sundae glass, put two scoops of vanilla ice cream. Next, add the toasted Graham crackers and marshmallows, then place the chunks of REESE’S Peanut Butter cups on top. Drizzle with Hersey’s Chocolate Syrup, and there you have it. Now you’re ready to dig right in.
