Notes
- You can use a hand mixer or even a blender if you don't have a food processor. We like the food processor because it makes for the smoothest mixture.
- This recipe uses semi sweet chocolate for the topping. If you want it a big sweeter, and closer to the flavor of a Reese's Peanut Butter Cup, simply substitute milk chocolate for the semi sweet. I prefer to use baking chocolate, but you can certainly use chocolate chips instead.
