I first tasted these melt in your mouth gems at a neighborhood cookie exchange…and I knew my two Reese’s fans at home would adore them as well. Such an easy, no-bake recipe for all you chocolate-peanut butter lovers.
Better Than Reese’s Peanut Butter Bars..adapted from a combination of recipes
6 tablespoons butter, melted
1 cup graham cracker crumbs
1 cup powdered sugar
1/2 cup smooth peanut butter
1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
1 teaspoon vegetable oil
Combine butter, graham cracker crumbs, powdered sugar and peanut butter in medium bowl. When well combined, pat into a well greased 8 x 8 inch pan. Refrigerate while preparing topping.
Melt chocolate chips and oil together in microwave, stirring every 30 seconds or so, till smooth. Spread over top of peanut butter layer.
Refrigerate at least an hour before cutting.

another wonderful recipe!!!
Thanks, Kelly!
Mmmm. Yum! These will be on the list for this week. The kids will love ‘em.
Oh gosh, liz, my favorite combination, I’m a Reese’s cup freak anyway! I might do this this weekend for my friends at school on Monday. Thanks for posting.
Patti, the first one is a bit hard to get out of the pan. I use an off-set spatula to get under each bar. Even if they’re not bakery perfect, they’re definitely tasty! Your school friends will be impressed!!!
Liz, OMG are you tryin’ to kill us here?!! I will make these this week — thinking they fit into high-protein Atkins-ish diet, right? lol Denial is also a river in Egypt and I won’t hear differently. BTW I have nearly the exact same granite, cabinets and pulls!
Lizzy……..OMG!!! Yum, I’m a Reese’s fan, please stop with all your recipes, I’m going to have to join WW soon.
Lizzy … Alex will love this recipe! Peanut Butter and Chocolate – two of the best ingredients in the world (his logic)!
You all make me laugh!!!
Deanna, I knew I liked your taste!
Lizzy, have you tried lining the pan with foil? You can hang the edges over the pan, pull it the foil out once it’s set, flatten out the foil and cut the bars. Or you could make them in disposable pans and cut the ends and flatten it too.
Jane, another friend recommended that non-stick foil…so maybe that’s the solution. Good to see you posting!!!
Liz, You just keep turning out deliciousness~!~! We ALL would enjoy these. No wonder you are so thin..you do all the work and your family has all the fun~!
