REESE’S PEANUT BUTTER BARS

Reese’s is my forever favorite. I always keep some in the fridge and make sure that I never run out of it. I like the small cups more and never realized that I already finished the whole bag! When I found this Reese’s peanut butter bars recipe, I was hesitant but excited. Hesitant because the last recipe I tried failed and excited that this might be it! Excitement won and I have been making this easy recipe for years!

These easy Reese’s peanut butter bars require only five simple ingredients to make from the melted butter, Graham crumbs, chocolate chips, and of course peanut butter. Mix everything and leave to set in the fridge for about 30 minutes, then cut into bars. Addictive and tastes just the real deal. Make sure to whip up a big batch as this tasty treat goes out fast!

INGREDIENTS :

• 1 c. melted butter
• 2 c. powdered sugar
• 1 1/2 c. semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 1 c. + 4 tbsp peanut butter
• 2 c. finely ground Graham cracker crumbs

DIRECTIONS :

Step 1: Place the Graham crackers, 1 cup of peanut butter, and powdered sugar in a large bowl. Mix well until blended. Then, stir in the melted butter.

Step 2: In the bottom of an ungreased 9 x 13-inch pan, evenly spread the mixture.

Step 3: Melt the chocolate chips with 4 tbsp peanut butter in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat for 30 seconds, then stir and heat for another 30 seconds. Stir and heat for additional 15 minutes. Or simply use a double broiler.

Step 4: On top of the peanut butter mixture, evenly spread the chocolate. Store in the fridge for 30 minutes before cutting into bars. Place the peanut butter bards in an airtight container and keep them in the fridge.
