Copycat Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup Bars
Serves 25
Prep time 10 minutes
If you love peanut butter cups, you are going to flip out over these Copycat Reese's Peanut Butter Cup Bars! They are no bake, 5 ingredients, and take 10 minutes to make!

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cup graham cracker crumbs
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter (melted)
  • 1 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 1 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 2 cups milk chocolate chips

optional

  • 2oz white chocolate
  • M&M's

Note

Different brands of peanut butter vary in how oily they are - if the peanut butter mixture seems dry, mix in more peanut butter before pressing into the pan.

Directions

Step 1
In a large bowl, stir together cracker crumbs, butter, peanut butter, and sugar until well combined. Press dough into a greased 10" square pan. Set aside.
Step 2
In a glass bowl, heat the chocolate chips in the microwave for about 90 seconds, stirring every 30 seconds until melted and smooth. Spread evenly over peanut butter layer. Allow to sit at room temperature until set - about 2 hours. Cut into bars and cover.
Step 3
*Optional topping*
Melt white chocolate in the microwave, stirring every 20 seconds until melted and smooth. Pour into a plastic baggie and snip off the very corner of the bag. Squeeze the bag to drizzle chocolate over bars. Immediately add M&M's. Let dry before storing.

    OH, girl, I think you’ve just made the day for my fellow housemates here in the boarding house I live in! None of them cook–none of the nice tenants cook, that is–but they love treats, so I think this will be their “once a month” treat that I try to give them each month. Looks really easy, economical, and DELICIOUS! Thank you for posting it!!

      Just a couple? lol I’d skip my meals and munch on the whole thing throughout the day. Seriously. I love Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups and so I thank Stephanie for the perfect blend of peanut butter and chocolate. Yummy

      Hi Irene! Different brands of peanut butter vary in how oily they are, I added a note to the recipe for anyone else who may have this issue. If the peanut butter mixture seems dry, mix in more peanut butter before pressing into the pan. I hope you still enjoyed them!
