Air Fryer Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup Recipe
I love carnival food, funnel cakes are my weakness but I also love those deep fried battered sweet treats! In the past along with the classic Fried Oreos and Fried Twinkies, I have also tried some Fried candy bars I enjoy such as a Fried Snickers bar. Well, I had the idea to do the same with a peanut butter cup but a homemade version that is a great way to lower the calorie and fat that the entire family will enjoy! Check it out and try it, you will be glad you did!
Ingredients
THIN Peanut Butter Cups
Crescent Rolls package
optional: powdered sugar or drizzle of chocolate sauce
Directions
Open the tube of crescent roll dough and flatten out the crescent roll sheets on a cutting board or flat surface. Cut the croissant dough into squares; this should give you 4 squares of dough to use. Take any type of peanut butter cup (even your own peanut butter cups, Reese’s cups, giant peanut butter cups, or as I prefer, the thin peanut butter cups), place the pb cups in the center of one of the squares, and wrap them with the crescent roll dough. Pinch ends to seal. Spray the air fryer basket with nonstick cooking spray and place the dough-wrapped oreo into the basket of the air fryer, making sure it remains a single layer in the basket. Depending on the type and size of your air fryer, times and temperatures will vary. I set my air fryer at 200 degrees F and set the timer to 10 minutes, flipping the peanut butter cup halfway through. Cook the air-fried peanut butter cup until they are golden brown, remove, and place on parchment paper until cool enough to eat. Serve the air fried Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup warm or at room temperature with a sprinkle of powdered sugar (optional: drizzle chocolate or caramel sauce) and a scoop of ice cream. Store in an airtight container.
