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.

• Ready In: 1 hr 15 mins
• Yields: 24 (more/less, depending on how big you cut the bars

Ingredients

• 1  cup butter
• 2  cups graham cracker crumbs (about 1 cellophane package and 3 extra grahams)
• 2  cups powdered sugar
• 1  cup  smooth peanut butter
• 2  cups chocolate chips

Directions

1. 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).
2. Press mixture into a 9x13" pan.
3. Melt chocolate chips in microwave and stir until smooth (try a minute first, and then check).
4. Spread chocolate carefully over peanut butter layer with a spatula. (Having one person to pour the chocolate and one to spread works well!).
5. 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).
6. (cooking time is cooling time, and it's a very rough estimate, I didn't keep track).
