Instructions

1. Cook bacon in a skillet over medium heat for 6-8 minutes per side until crispy. Transfer to paper towels to drain.

2. Form ground beef into 4 equal patties (about 4 oz each), season generously with salt and pepper.

3. Grill or pan-fry patties over medium-high heat for 4-5 minutes per side for medium doneness.

4. During the last minute of cooking, place cheese slices on patties to melt.

5. Toast burger buns lightly on the grill or in a toaster.

6. In a small bowl, mix peanut butter, honey, chocolate syrup, and powdered sugar until smooth to create the spooky drizzle.

7. Spread a thin layer of peanut butter on bottom bun, add lettuce, then place cooked patty with melted cheese.

8. Top patty with crispy bacon strips and place one Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup on top.

9. Drizzle the spooky chocolate-peanut butter sauce over the burger in a web-like pattern.

10. Add top bun and secure with decorative toothpick if desired. Garnish with edible eyes or Halloween sprinkles for extra spooky presentation.

Notes

For best results, slightly warm the Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups for 5-10 seconds in the microwave before placing on burger – this creates a deliciously gooey texture.

The spooky drizzle can be made ahead and stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Rewarm gently before using.

For a vegetarian version, substitute a plant-based patty and use veggie bacon alternatives.
