How to Make Peanut Butter Cups at Home?

In the 1920s, when everyone seemed so bored with the regular candies, a man working at The Hershey Company came up with an idea of making a chocolate and peanut butter confection as a part of an assortment of candy. He goes to the basement of the company’s manufacturing unit and starts working on the product. The outcome indeed made everyone go crazy, and his newly invented candies soon became the bestselling item of the company. They not only helped the firm earn huge profits but also helped the man earn wide recognition for his work. He was none other than Harry Burnett “H.B.” Reese, an American inventor and businessman known for creating the No. 1 selling candy brand in the United States, Reese's Peanut Butter Cups, and later founding the H.B. Reese Candy Company.
