The filling in the Reeses peanut butter cups, I've found several on the internet but I really need the one that is closes to the taste in the real peanut butter cups. Does any one know of one that I can use? I want to make a giant peanut butter cup in a flan pan for my dh but he's kind of fussy icon_rolleyes.gif lol so I want to get as close to the original flavour as possible.

Thanks Darlene

I've been searching for you, but haven't had much luck. Everything I've found, and probably you too, has them crushed but not the actual recipe. I'll keep looking though. It has to be out there somewhere.

Found it...
This recipe is a copycat recipe for Reese's Peanut Butter Cups. They take some time to make, but it's well worth it.

Darcat,

When do you need this recipe? My DH grew up with the grandson of Mr. Reese and so he is VERY picky! I have a recipe that he loves but I can't get to it until Tuesday night (it's locked away for Passover). If that works let me know. Whatever recipe you use, if you can get Reeses Peanut butter where you live, use it. It definitely makes a difference!

(Off-topic) You lock up your recipes for Passover?

And I thought giving up sugar for Lent was hard.

Giving up recipes for a week must be really tough! LOL

Cakepro,

We have to seal off cabinets and put away anything that came in contact with "chametz" (anything leavened or leavenable) for the duration of Passover. I have Passover cookbooks out and one cookbook in an extra large ziplock, open to the appropriate page, but the rest are behind sealed cabinets. It makes using the kitchen really intersting. Here's a portion of my kitchen for Passover just to give you an idea.

WOW! That is very interesting indeed!

I had a cake student who was mulling over what design she wanted to do for her final Course I cake, since she wanted to serve it but couldn't cut through it if it had writing on it (I think that's what she said). She keeps a kosher kitchen and was telling me about that too. I think she even has two KitchenAids for her dual kitchen!

Happy Pesach! icon_smile.gif

Cakepro,

She must have been planning to serve it on a Shabbos or Yom Tov (holiday). We aren't allowed to tear or cut letters on these days because it is considered erasing, which was an activity that was done on the Tabernacle. All "work" (types of activities) which were performed on the Tabernacle are forbidden on these holy days.


Missyleigh, no offense taken! We all have something we can learn from each other. Passover celebrates our freedom from Egypt, when G-d sent the ten plagues, etc. to make Pharoah set us free. When we left Egypt we took our bread dough, but it had not risen yet. Since it was carried on our shoulders it was baked flat. As part of our annual rememberance of our slavery and freedom the Torah (Bible) commands us to get rid of all the leaven from our homes during Passover. We get rid of or sell all bread, flour, etc. that is in our possession. Additionally, we cannot use any of our normal pots, pans, dishes, mixers, etc., because they have been used for chometz/leaven during the year. So most people clean out a couple of cabinets and line them and use these for Passover items. Then we seal off the others and include anything in there as part of what we sell for the holiday. (We do this through the Rabbi who has a non-Jewish person who buys everything, holds it legally during the holiday, and then sells it back to the Rabbi at the end of the holiday).

As for what leaven represents, it represents arrogance. Matzah is flat and is the bread of slavery, therefore it is a humble bread. When we add leaven it puffs up the bread. Part of this holiday is to seek for the areas in our lives where we are prideful and work to be more humble. This is especially important because the next major holiday is Shavuos, which celebrates the giving of the Torah. We must be humble to truly receive G-d's laws.

Hope this helps,
Kathi

P.S. Sorry Darcat, I didn't mean to hijack your thread!! icon_redface.gif

Thank you this is clearer to me now. Another question does kosher mean that the food is blessed by the rabbi or does it have another meaning? How long does passover last?

Kathik (again w/ apologies to Darcat)--Thank you so much for sharing information about Passover and a picture of your kitchen. I knew about the "no leavening," but not about closing everything off. I'm always ready to learn about other people's traditions and religions.

Missyleigh, Passover lasts eight days, unless you are in Israel, where it is only seven (a very long explanation). Kosher literally means "fit" or acceptable. If an item has a kosher symbol on it, it means the item has been grown, harvested, processed, packaged, etc. according to Jewish laws and under a Rabbi's supervision. It is a very common misconception that the item has been blessed by a Rabbi.

wow Kathik no apologies necessary for lol Hijacking my thread I've just finished reading what you said and also find it very fascinating. I'm not planning to make the reeses for awhile but when I get an idea in my head I like to start to prepare things like get the recipe and have it on hand so that when I do want to get to it I have everything I need. I would really appreciate you sending me the recipt you can pm when you have a chance. Happy holiday to everyone what ever faith you may be may god bless us all.
