Base Layer
- 1 cup (240g) creamy peanut butter
- 1 cup (225g) unsalted butter, melted
- 2 cups (250g) powdered sugar
- 2 cups (200g) graham cracker crumbs
Chocolate Topping
- 1½ cups (260g) semisweet chocolate chips
- ½ cup (120g) creamy peanut butter
- Combine Base Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the melted butter, 1 cup peanut butter, powdered sugar, and graham cracker crumbs. Stir until the mixture is well incorporated and smooth.
- Press Mixture: Press the combined mixture evenly into the bottom of a 9×13-inch baking dish lined with parchment paper, creating an even base layer.
- Melt Chocolate Topping: In a microwave-safe bowl, add the semisweet chocolate chips and ½ cup peanut butter. Heat in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until melted and smooth.
- Spread Chocolate Layer: Pour the melted chocolate mixture over the peanut butter base layer, spreading it evenly to cover the entire surface.
- Chill Bars: Refrigerate the bars for at least 2 hours or until firm enough to cut.
- Slice and Serve: Remove from fridge, let the bars sit at room temperature for 5 minutes, then cut into squares or bars. Enjoy your Reese’s Peanut Butter No-Bake Bars!
Notes
- Use parchment paper to ensure easy removal from the pan.
- For a crunchier texture, try stirring in chopped peanuts into the base mixture.
- Store bars in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
- These bars are rich, so small servings are satisfying.
- Optional: Use dark chocolate chips if you prefer a less sweet topping.
