Reese's is great on its own, but the combination of peanut butter and chocolate opens up so many more possibilities than just eating it straight from the pack. Here are five ideas on how to turn Reese's Cups and peanut butter into something special.

1. Brownies with melted Reese's Cups

A classic brownie recipe, with chopped Reese's Peanut Butter Cups mixed into the batter before baking. The result is a moist, rich brownie with pockets of melted peanut butter in every bite.

2. Reese's milkshake

Vanilla ice cream, milk, chocolate syrup, and a spoonful of peanut butter all blended together – ready in just a few minutes. Top with whipped cream and a cherry for the ultimate diner experience.

3. Melted over hot chocolate

One Reese's Big Cup cut into pieces and added to hot chocolate or cocoa while the drink is still warm – it melts in seconds and adds a creamy, nutty note to the classic beverage.

4. Chopped over ice cream

Finely chopped pieces of Reese's Cups sprinkled over a scoop of vanilla or chocolate ice cream are an instant upgrade for any dessert – quick, easy, and no baking required.

5. Frozen as a quick "hack"

Put a Reese's in the freezer for about 20 minutes before eating. The cold peanut butter and firmer chocolate change the entire textural experience – a harder "crunch" instead of a soft bite.
