Of course, there is something to be said for1. Hershey’s Kisses Peanut Butter Blossoms
A classic. I still remember when my mom made 60 of these for my first-grade birthday party: I was so proud. They look impressive and are really very simple, but you need to work fast when adding the Kisses. Get the Hershey’s Kisses Peanut Butter Blossoms recipe.

2. Snickers Cheesecake
An amazing way to use Snickers…and Oreos, which comprise the crust. The chewy chocolate, caramel, and peanut candy is folded into the cheesecake filling and piled atop the pool of chocolate ganache that drips down the sides. Get the Snickers Cheesecake recipe.
3. Chocolate Peanut Butter Kit Kat Crunch Bars
These hardly count as baking: Rice Krispies, chocolate, peanut butter, and Kit Kats in one gooey, creamy, crunchy bar. You’ll be breaking off another piece all night until it’s gone. Get the Chocolate Peanut Butter Kit Kat Crunch Bars recipe.
4. Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup Cookies
