oh god! what a delicious cookie. this is my dream cookies. looks so so good. yummy
ReplyDeleteNo doubt these would be on the top of my list of snacks over the holidays....but can I eat just one?
ReplyDeleteI wish this blog had "smellovision". I'm drooling just looking at the pictures of those cookies!
ReplyDeleteYou are so cute! And there's never any leftover candy to use up here.
ReplyDeleteSo agree...Reeses pb eggs are the best.
ReplyDeleteUMM HELLO!!! Reese's Eggs are like the best in the world...so much better than an actual reese's!! All that peanut buttery goodness! I am so going to have to make these!! yumm!
ReplyDeleteYES! The PB eggs are the best candy. Hands down. There's something about the eggs in particular, too, that even makes them better than a regular Reese's. I love them. So, naturally, I can't wait to try these cookies. I'm going to have to hide the candy around my house...not for the fun of finding it, like when we were little, but more so that I don't scarf and entire bag of Reese's at once.
ReplyDeleteOH MY GOD!!! Absolutely yummy Emily!!! xxGloria
ReplyDeleteoh
ReplyDeletemy
heavens!
I cannot make these...LOL!
yum! yum! Happy Easter! :)
ReplyDeleteThey are the best! I ate a 6 pack in one day.
ReplyDeleteHave you seen the commercial where the bunny meets the peanut butter and then... out pops these eggs? It's hilarious.

Can't wait to have a kitchen again so I can make these cookies! :)
OH MY... totally drooling on my keyboard over here. I agree those are my #1 favorite easter candy :)
ReplyDeleteoh you wicked! :)
ReplyDeletethose are my favorite. favorite easter candy of all times and i have already OD'd on them this year. so i'm over them. for the time being... until i saw your fippin post... :)
YUM
Yummy, have a bag of these waiting to be used. Thanks
ReplyDeleteOH...MY...GOSH! You had me at "Reese's Peanut Butter..." :) These look AMAZING. Reese's pb eggs are hands down the best Easter candy. I can't wait to make these cookies. Love the video.
ReplyDeleteWe lived in MA when the Easter Bunny visited us and it was usually too cold to hide eggs outside, so we scourged the living room for candy, too! When we moved West we were surprised to find that the Easter Bunny hid eggs OUTSIDE! Imagine! LOL It's so great the way you come up with all these recipes... your mind must be 'cooking' 24 hours a day!
ReplyDeleteMmmmmm, peanut butter egg cookies. Looks great. :)
ReplyDeleteYum - Reese's Eggs are my favorite Easter candy! I love the higher peanut butter to chocolate ratio compared to regular peanut butter cups. Your cookies look fantastic!
ReplyDeleteoh my gosh -i love how the inside shot of the dense peanut butter!
ReplyDeleteMust be an Ozarks thing - When we were kids we always had our egg hunts in the living room as well!
ReplyDeleteI can only guess that it kept the ants off the goodies and the unfound bits out of the lawnmower.

ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful week end Emily,
elra

ReplyDeleteexcited to watch the video :)
Look at those cookies! Pb eggs are allready delicious, cookie dough too, now join them and I'm so sure I could eat a whole batch. I'm not kidding!
ReplyDeleteYummy that is all I can say. Whomever came up with Peanut butter and chocolate I need to kiss.
ReplyDeleteYUM. YUM. YUM. That's it, clear out your spare bedroom, or your attic, or your bathroom or what have you, I'm moving in.
ReplyDeleteThe Reese's IS the best Easter candy!
ReplyDeleteThis looks wonderful!
;) amy
your a genius!!
ReplyDeletei LOVE this idea :)
This is a super cool recipe, definitely original--love it. I'm craving one!
ReplyDeleteDidn't know it was possible to improve on reese's peanut butter eggs. Looks amazing :)
ReplyDeleteLAS VEGAS!
ReplyDeleteYou are so trying to tempt me!
ReplyDeleteOh yum!! they look fab!!
ReplyDeleteKatie xox
Brilliant, brilliant, BRILLIANT!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteYou had me at "peanut butter egg"! :) What a fabulous way to use them! Peeps don't even belong in the same sentence, though I wouldn't turn down a Cadbury creme egg... :)
ReplyDeletebe still my beating heart. there's this switch in my brain that gets so excited every time i see pb :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea! Love the Reeses eggs, but I never buy them because I know I would eat them! But if they are an ingredient in a recipe I must indulge..ha!
ReplyDeletePeanut butter and chocolate are joined at the hip!
ReplyDeletewow these look amazing!! I'm going to have to try them out!
ReplyDeleteI watched the whole video. You are great on camera. Well that is practice for your next big scene. A star is born. Go girl!
ReplyDeleteMy brother and sister-in-law just gave me a birthday gift of a dinner party (at a date TBD) with Top Chef Stephanie Izard cooking for us at home. Cool, huh?
Lori Lynn
Yes, absolutely and I'll take three or four of those fantastic cookies!
ReplyDeleteHappy Easter!
~ingrid
I am TOTALLY with you. The Reese's eggs are the BEST! I made some cookies similar to this last month except just regular Reese's and a PB cookie.
ReplyDeleteWe absolutely HAVE TO try this:

I've never had reese's peanut butter eggs. Your biscuits look great though!
ReplyDeletealthough i can't agree with you about the eggs being the best easter candy, i will say that these are some terrific cookies. impressive, as usual. :)
ReplyDeleteYum!! This sounds so good, thanks! The easter bunny only hid eggs and candy in our living room too, guess it was too chilly in the yard for him... haha. The best part is that I never ever considered it weird until right now!
ReplyDeleteThe mere mention of Reeses makes me perk up...you should give THESE away!
ReplyDeletei couldn't agree more; peanut butter eggs ARE the best easter treat!
ReplyDeleteWow... I googled the Reese's PB egg because I'm kinda mad at the Easter Bunny for not leaving MORE Reese's PB Eggs - and I was trying to buy more before they disappear into the hidden earth where things like candy canes and Shamrock Shakes go to live for 11 months each year.
ReplyDeleteNow, I found this incredible looking cookie and I'm DOUBLY obsessed with finding more eggs out there!
Oh ya! I love those eggs. Those look awesome!
ReplyDeleteHow did I miss this post? Really? How? Can I still get PB eggs now that Easter is over? I'll bet if I could I could get quite a nice discount.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad I'm not the only one who thinks Cadbury eggs are overrated.
Are you kidding me? OMG I think I'm in love with these even without making them (which I have to do right away!)
ReplyDeleteBummer, I missed the giveaway. That's okay, there seems to be plenty of cookies in my life! This looks great. I'm probably a little late on getting some of those Reese's Easter Eggs, but I'll bet mini cups would suffice. And I have those! Great job. Holy Cookies, Batman! Love it!
ReplyDeleteCan I cut up Reese's PB Cups instead since Easter is over? Jennifer
ReplyDeleteI won't eat any of course I'll just give them all away......NOT!
whoa, cool idea!
ReplyDelete
