Deep Fried Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups
Do you love ooey gooey deep fried treats? Our family does and we really love chocolate and peanut butter. We love Reese’s Desserts and this is no different.
Can you fry Reese’s?
Just like any of our other favorite fried treats, Reese’s can also be fried. We tried making Deep Fried Oreos and they were a hit. Then we attempted deep frying Reese’s Cups.
The results? They were so decadent and delicious.
The trick is to freeze the Reese’s Cups prior to frying. The inside is gooey and the coating is crispy and perfect.
Ingredients:
- Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups, full size and frozen
- Pancake Mix
- Egg
- Milk
- Vegetable Oil, plus more for Frying
- Powdered Sugar
How to make deep fried Reese’s:
- Allow the oil to heat. Heat 3 inches of oil in a large pot or Dutch oven.
- Combine the pancake batter. Then gently mix together the pancake mix, egg, milk and 2 teaspoons of the vegetable oil in a large bowl.
- Dip the Reese’s Cups. Then dip each of the peanut butter cups into the batter and place them in the oil.
- Cool until golden brown. Cook for 3-4 minutes, turning them halfway through the cook time to brown both sides.
- Place on a plate. Then move them to a plate lined with paper towels.
- Top with confectionary sugar. Sift the powdered sugar on top and they are ready to serve and enjoy!
How to serve:
Serve warm topped with powdered sugar. They are so rich and delicious.
You can also serve with chocolate syrup drizzled on top.
How to store:
These are best served right away. However, leftovers can be stored inside an airtight container.
Just make sure to allow them to cool first. They will keep up to 1 to 2 days at room temperature.
Tips For Making Deep-Fried Peanut Butter Cups
- We recommend freezing the Reese’s Peanut for at least 1 hour before frying them to prevent the chocolate from melting and oozing out into the frying oil.
- Do not remove the peanut butter cups from the freezer until ready to fry.
- Deep Fried Reese’s Cups should be flipped during the cooking process.
