Notes
Notes:
- I used the back of a spoon to make a little divot in the cookie. This gives a nice place to rest the peanut butter cup. You can also use the end of a wooden spoon. Totally optional step.
- If you don't have a pastry bag, grab a ziplock baggie and put the chocolate in it. Cut the bottom corner of the bag off (just a little tiny corner). This will work great too!
- These decorating tweezers are a lifesaver. They will make putting the eyes on so much easier. They are great to have on hand for other decorating projects as well.
- Chill the Reese's Peanut Butter Cups before you begin. It will make them much easier to work with because they won't get all melty!
