Nutrition Facts : Calories 159.4 calories, Carbohydrate 27 g, Fat 5.5 g, Fiber 0.8 g, Protein 3.2 g, SaturatedFat 1.1 g, Sodium 108.4 mg, Sugar 13.7 g

Tips:

  • Make sure the peanut butter is at room temperature before you start. This will make it easier to mix and will help the chews set up properly.
  • If you don't have a candy thermometer, you can check the consistency of the syrup by dropping a small amount into a cup of cold water. If the syrup forms a soft ball, it is ready.
  • Be careful not to overcook the syrup, as this will make the chews hard and brittle.
  • If you want to make the chews even more chewy, you can add a marshmallow to each one before you dip it in the chocolate.
  • Store the chews in an airtight container in a cool, dry place. They will keep for up to 2 weeks.

Conclusion:

Peanut butter chews are a delicious and easy-to-make candy that is perfect for any occasion. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a sweet and chewy treat that is sure to be a hit with everyone. So next time you're looking for a sweet snack, give peanut butter chews a try.
