I also added marshmallows below the chocolate chips, made really awesome treats! Probably really fattening, probably really bad for you, rot your teeth out, etc. But, yum yum good! If you put them in the refrigerator though, they are hard to cut.

I make these all the time. I have found that it's best to use JIF peanut butter instead of the natural kind because it's stiffer/thicker. It's also better to use chocolate graham crackers. I find that using those two are important in making it tastes much like Reeses but also the texture holds up better. If anyone is having issues with their chocolate being too 'chocolately' simply melt a TB of peanut butter with it. Also, its fun to get creative with these. I've tried them in various shapes and sizes. One of my favorite, super easy treats!

I made these for dessert the other day. I personally don't like chocolate and pb together, so I didn't taste them. My mom said they were delectable though and DH's friend said they tasted just like a Reese's PB Cup. They were pretty easy to make, the only complaint I have, and the reason for only 4 stars, was that they were so hard to cut. I was only able to salvage a few because when I tried to cut them the chocolate "shattered". I'm not sure how to cure that. Next time I make these I might try to put them in mini muffin cups to avoid the broken chocolate. Thanks for posting!
