Halloween treats go gourmet. Chow has a very exciting tutorial on making homemade versions of popular candy bars. Besides the obvious advantages (leaving high fructose corn syrup behind, etcetera) their version look chock-full of all goodness next to their commercial counterparts. Their version of Twix, after the jump.
Will we go to the trouble of making these? Highly doubtful, but wow they look good. What about you?

Chow's PB cup looks like Trader Joe's dark chocolate PB cup, which I have to say is a salty addictive treat . . . and since they do what I'd do (better, darker chocolate and salty not sweet peanut butter) I don't think I'd do it.
But I would make those homemade mint girl scout cookies that heidi at 101cookbooks perfected a year or so ago . . .
What have they done? I cannot resist peanut butter cups, and now I know how to make them at home. What have they done?
I want one. Now. Really, any of them.
Luckily, a girl from Annie's Naturals just wandered into my office and handed me a box of bunny graham samples.
I've been making homemade pb cups for years, with natural pb and good Belgian chocolate, and they are SO good! People rave about them and my husband, who LOVES reeses cups likes mine better. They are not so hard to make, the recipe is on allrecipes.com
Oh dear kiva, I'm praying my weight watchers bag is in the house... it has my "reward" of Reese's pieces in it!
