Tasty Treat Tuesday: Reese’s Peanut Butter Bars

March 20, 2012 by Leave a Comment

Aside from Snickers, Reese’s Peanut Butter cups are my favortie chocolate bar!  I especially love the special holiday peanut butter cups (Easter Eggs, Jack-o-lanterns, Christmas Trees) because they have more peanut better in them, which in my mind makes them even yummier.  I came across this recipe for peanut butter bars from Let’s Dish and I am so excited to try them.  They are so easy to make and the peanut butter to chocolate ratio looks perfect!

Here’s what you need to make these:

  • 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
