Ingredients

  • 20 Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups full size and frozen
  • 1.5 cups Pancake Mix
  • 1 Egg
  • 1 cup Milk
  • 2 tsp Vegetable Oil plus more for Frying
  • 1/4 cup Powdered Sugar

Instructions

  • Heat 3 inches of oil in a large pot or dutch oven.
  • Then gently mix together the pancake mix, egg, milk and 2 teaspoons of the vegetable oil in a large bowl.
  • Then dip each of the peanut butter cups into the batter and place them in the oil.  Cook for 3-4 minutes, turning them halfway through the cook time to brown both sides.
  • Then move them to a plate lined with paper towels.  Sift the powdered sugar on top and they are ready to serve and enjoy!

Notes

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.
