Reese’s Peanut Butter Bars

July 19, 2011 by Danelle 13 Comments

How have I lived nearly 40 years on this earth and never heard of this recipe?  Seriously.  I remember when I was a kid, my mom had those peanut butter cup shaped candy molds.  They certainly made for delicious and fun peanut butter cup like treats, but I always thought they were so much work.  But these peanut butter cup bars are the easiest thing I’ve ever made. When a sudden chocolate craving strikes, I can whip these bars up faster than I can run to the corner convenience store for a candy bar.

Sometimes I force myself to half the recipe, because I’m going to eat the whole pan either way.  And they do taste an awful lot like the store bought version.  I do recommend using the prepared graham cracker crumbs in a box.  Unless you can crush them really fine, doing it yourself results in some large cracker crumbs that aren’t quite right for this recipe.  But I bet they would still taste good!

Reese’s Peanut Butter Bars

Ingredients

  • 1 cup butter melted
  • 2 cups graham cracker crumbs
  • 2 cups confectioners’ sugar
  • 1 cup + 4 tablespoons peanut butter
  • 1 1/2 cups semisweet chocolate chips

Notes

In a medium bowl, mix together the melted butter, graham cracker crumbs, confectioners’ sugar, and 1 cup peanut butter until well blended. Press evenly into the bottom of an ungreased 9×13 inch pan.
In a metal bowl over simmering water, or in the microwave, melt the chocolate chips with 4 tablespoons peanut butter, stirring occasionally until smooth. Spread over the peanut butter layer.
Refrigerate for at least one hour before cutting into squares.

    This is close to the recipe I made up as a young teen. Instead of graham cracker on the bottom, I melted chocolate and poured it in a thin layer on wax paper lining. This way it top and bottom has nummy chocolate 🙂

    Sadly, I’ve never been a fan of Reese’s PB cups. But my brother is and I’m sure he’d love this recipe.

    How can you assemble an internet web-site
    similar to this? The look is fantastic as well as your information reads properly.
