Reese's Peanut Butter Cup Bars

"These taste JUST like a Reese's Peanut Butter Cup and are so easy to make! There are a lot of similar recipes, with slightly different amounts of (mostly) the same ingredients, but this is the one that I really like."

directions

  • Mix butter, graham cracker crumbs, powdered sugar, and peanut butter. (an easy way to measure the peanut butter is to put 1 cup of water into a measuring cup, and then add enough peanut butter to it that the water reaches 2 cups).
  • Press mixture into a 9x13" pan.
  • Melt chocolate chips in microwave and stir until smooth (try a minute first, and then check).
  • Spread chocolate carefully over peanut butter layer with a spatula. (Having one person to pour the chocolate and one to spread works well!).
  • Let the chocolate cool for a while, and then cut into bars before the chocolate is completely hardened (or else the chocolate layer will just crack).
  • (cooking time is cooling time, and it's a very rough estimate, I didn't keep track).

  1. Absolutely delicious! I made these for my Christmas Eve cookie tray. They were a hit with my family...one of the first things from the tray to disappear :). I liked them even better than store-bought Reese's Peanut Butter Cups. Best of all, they were quick and easy to make, with no baking required. This recipe is definitely a keeper. I can't wait to serve these again this Christmas!
     
  2. These are very sweet and very rich. I did need to put them in the refrigerator, also, to harden. Very easy to make - no baking involved, but not sure I will make them again.
     
  3. Taste great but really rich. Put them in the fridge otherwise they will never totally firm.
     
  4. Fantastic cookie recpe. Have not tried but definitely will do. Thanks for sharing!
