For baking, they can be melted down and used in frostings or fillings for cakes and cookies, or placed whole into cookie dough before baking to create a molten center. They are a common addition to dessert platters and candy bowls during celebrations and gatherings.
How it differs from similar foods

How to keep the rest
To maintain freshness, store any remaining peanut butter cups in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and heat. Ensure they are kept in their original packaging or an airtight container to prevent them from drying out or absorbing unwanted odors. Proper storage helps preserve their intended texture and flavor.
