Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 °F (177 °C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or spray with baking spray. Set aside.

Notes

I usually put my Reese's in the fridge or freezer upon bringing them home because I like to eat them cold or frozen. This came in handy because they're much easier to cut when they're cold than when they're room temperature.
