I promise I’m not crazy. Let’s just get that out of the way before we talk about this recipe. I know it’s not healthy. I know that kids shouldn’t be taught to eat like this, but I also know that once a year you should do something totally awesome and blow everyone’s minds with breakfast. I mean, who could say no to reese’s syrup over double chocolate pancakes?! If it makes you feel better you can always serve this Reese’s Syrup over multigrain chocolate pancakes. Then it’s at least a little healthier. But I mean, that’s totally up to you.

Can Pancake Batter Be Made Ahead?

Pancake and waffle batter can be made the night before.

Because baking powder may lose some of its potency overnight, you may want to add a little more.

Let the batter warm up a little, give it a stir, and cook your pancakes.

Why Are Pancakes Flat?

Not enough soda will result in a blonde, flat pancake.

Too much will result in a tall, dark, soapy-tasting pancake.

Also, if you over-mix, the gluten will develop from the flour in your batter, making your pancakes chewy instead of fluffy.

Stir just until the flour is incorporated.

You will still have some lumps of flour in your batter.

Can You Reheat Pancakes?

There are several ways to reheat pancakes.

You can pop them in the toaster.

They can be reheated in the oven by placing them on a baking sheet and covering them with foil.

Bake at 350 degrees for 10-15 minutes.

You can also microwave pancakes for 15-20 seconds at high setting.

Description

reese's syrup over double chocolate pancakes

Ingredients 

For the Pancakes

  • 1 1/2 Cups Flour
  • 2 Tablespoons Hershey's Cocoa
  • 3 Tablespoons Sugar
  • 3/4 Teaspoon Salt
  • 2 Teaspoons Baking Powder
  • 1/2 Cup Sour Cream
  • 3/4 Cup Milk
  • 3 Large Eggs
  • 1/2 Teaspoon Vanilla
  • Chocolate Chips to taste

For the Syrup

  • 6 Tablespoons Butter
  • 3/4 Cup Chocolate Milk
  • 1/4 Cup Heavy Cream
  • 2 Tablespoons Cocoa
  • 1 Tablespoon Karo Syrup
  • 1 Cup Sugar
  • 6 Reese's Peanut Butter Cups, regular sized, chopped, plus additional for garnish

Instructions

For the Pancakes

  • In a large bowl, mix together the dry ingredients. In a separate bowl, combine the eggs, sour cream, milk and vanilla. Whisk together. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir to combine, being careful not to over stir. Add the chocolate chips
  • Set aside until the syrup is ready. When you are ready to cook the pancakes, spread a little butter over a pan heated to medium heat. Pour out the pancakes into individual circles and allow to cook for a few minutes until the bubbles begin to form on top and begin to pop. Flip the pancake and cook until golden.
  • Serve with syrup immediately.

For the Syrup

  • Pour all ingredients except the reese's peanut butter cups into a large sauce pan and cook over medium heat until it boils. Remove from the heat and stir in the Reese's, continuing to stir until the candy melts down completely. Serve immediately.

Notes

pancakes can be made ahead, reheated and syrup added when ready to eat

    Have you ever tried making the batter the night before? I’m trying to avoid too much kitchen time on christmas morning!

      Alicia, I have and it didn’t hold up very well, but maybe it was just one bad time for me. I’ve just been to scared to try again. The syrup I’ve made ahead and reheated, and then had the flour in one bowl with saran wrap, and the wet ingredients in a bowl ready to be whisked in the fridge to save time.

    You totally read my mind. I was just searching chocolate peanut butter pancakes (the kids are getting bored with my usual ones). This would be a great surprise for them….I just don’t know if I could handle their sugar high afterward. 🙂

    I am out of words right now, and that doesn’t happen often. I am a peanut butter cup and pancake addict. These are seriously everything I could ever dream of having for breakfast. And, reeses syrup? That is the most genius creation ever to happen to planet Earth. These look ah-may-zing! Pinned!

  • My secret? I keep little ziplocs of cider in the freezer to use all year since it’s hard to buy apple cider other than in the fall.  I made this new version of apple cider muffins last year and I will NEVER make another apple muffin again. That cider being simmered down absolutely changes the entire recipe.

  • Who are the mushroom haters in your family? 

Number 1 piece of advice? NEVER season mushrooms until they have sauteed. You’ll let out all the water and they will end up a rubbery, gluey mess! 

Listen, I have carefully guarded my hatred for mushrooms for over 30 years folks, so this is not easy to admit, but I’m almost 100% on board with the mushroom lovers. It’s taken a long time, research (I’m not kidding) and a lot, a lot of experimenting, but I know all the tricks to make even a mushroom hater a lover. And this pasta is FOR SURE a winner!

  • When is the last time you made sloppy joes? 

Every time I heard that we were having sloppy joes for lunch at school as a kid, I cringed.  I was never too excited for sloppy joes at home either. 

But we have finally found the best sloppy joe recipe EVER! Not just the best, but a totally crave-able recipe! It’s the perfect balance of sweet and salty and a little spicy.
