Homemade Peanut Butter Cups

My son's favorite candy in the whole world. He lives for them... REEESES!! This recipe caught my eye as I was recipe surfing the other night and so we tried them out and it was praises all around. I can't believe myself how good they are and how easy it was to make them. My daughter's comment was "guess we will never buy them again". I think she may be right!
