Honey, I shrunk the Reeses


They’re now perfect for your training bra!

I love playing jokes.

This year, I spared you all (You’re welcome!), but my poor real-life friends were not so lucky…

Yesterday, three friends came over for some homemade Vegan Reeses Cups.

I started by melting a frozen PMS Chocolate Bar into mini liners.

(You can use any chocolate bar.)

Then, instead of adding peanut butter, I opted for my favorite Cashew Butter.

The resulting little guys were amaze! That’s right: amaze. So good, plain amazing just wouldn’t cut it. Mini cashew-butter 32-C cups!!!

For a specific recipe, see this post: 32-C Chocolate Cups.

But wait, what about the joke?? Ah yes… well, you see, one of the mini cups was not filled with cashew butter.

There’s Mustard in my Reeses!

One of my friends was unfortunate enough to bite into a mustard-filled mini reeses. (I thought about filling them all with mustard… but honestly, what a waste of chocolate that would’ve been!) It was so funny, because she’s the type of girl who never wants to hurt anyone’s feelings. So rather than spit it right out, she kept eating the offending morsel, trying not to grimace. After a few bites, though, I had to tell her. She could not stop laughing!

Did you play any April Fools jokes?
Or did anyone else play one on you, yesterday?

Normally, I’m proud of the fact that it’s very hard to trick me on April Fools Day. (Maybe this is just because my family thinks of ridiculous jokes. Um, snow in Texas in April? Yeah, like I’m going to fall for that!) But yesterday, I think I fell for every single joke I saw on Twitter, from “Paula Deen is a vegan!” to “So-and-so blogger is moving!” to “So-and-so blogger is giving up blogging.” Yup, I fell for them all. So ashamed… lol.

Oh, and in case you didn’t know: I’m pregnant.

    Thank you so much for taking the time to post these links for me 🙂
    Everything here is imported,which I think is what contributes to the steep pricing I face.

    Sorry if I sound like a noob! I’m quite new to this! I’m basically a vegetarian but I still consume dairy (a lot to do with how calcium contributes to fat loss because it binds fat during digestion). So I consume things like Fat Free Yogurt and Cottage Cheese quite often. Also, I’m currently still studying (poor student!) and I sell cakes from home which means I HAVE to try at least a teaspoon of everything I sell just to make sure everything tastes fine, and this is one of the hugest obstacles in my quest to go Vegan. (I can’t possibly sell something to someone if I don’t know what it tastes like :(:( )

    Sorry for the ramble! And thank you for your frequent posting, Im sure other people like me learn lots from your lifestyle 🙂

    Those look so wonderful! I love your prank…mainly because it’s small and harmless and doesn’t hurt anyone’s feelings. Now, if you had made ALL of them with mustard…that would have hurt chocolate’s feelings. Which would have been absolutely unacceptable.

      Oh don’t even joke about hurting chocolate’s feelings! 😉

    Haha….I told my mom that I didn’t want to go to college and she just about had a heart attack!!! But I made these cups before with cashew butter, too, and they are so good!!
