This is really good as written, but since it was purported to taste like Reeses, and we were hoping it did, we judged it accordingly. It is close. If we hadn't hoped it was like Reeses, I think we would simply love it and adopt it for those rare occasions when we would make candy. The smell is JUST like Reeses. I have a son who loves Reeses (so we tried this to see if it would be just right for his birthday). I think this could be modified to be more Reeses-like, starting with using milk chocolate instead of semi-sweet. I like the semi-sweet myself, but that doesn't make it Reeses-like, if you know what I mean. There is also a particular flavor in Reeses that comes from corn syrup, so that is a must. Lastly, there is the texture of the of the peanut butter. I have a couple of 'fixes' in mind to try, but I'm not sure if either will work - I'll let you know if I find the 'just right' solution.

I'm not the kind of person to write a review when I've made a bunch of changes from the original recipe. I followed this recipe exactly, and it was very good, but it was a little soft. The bars couldn't be taken out of the fridge for more than five minutes or they'd melt. But they tasted delicious, everyone loved them.

Amazing! I couldn't believe how easy these are to make and that they taste identical to the famous peanutbutter cup candies. I could tell when melting the chocolate that it was going to set up harder than I wanted so I added an extra tablespoon of peanutbutter, 1tbsp of butter and 2tbsp of half and half and the end result was perfect. As others have mentioned in their reviews, let the bottom layer chill at least 20min to prevent the chocolate from mixing into the peanutbutter. Next time I will be lining my pan with parchment paper so I can pull the whole thing out to cut. Cutting got a bit messy.

Unbelievable how good these are. Experiment a bit with the peanut butter/ butter ratio and you will get what you're looking for be it Reese's or more of a bar consistency. Absolutely delicious, and so simple. You wouldn't believe how many more friends I have now that I make these regularly. Now where is my glass of milk.

these are okay, although they don't have the creamy texture and rich peanut buttery-ness I was craving. Give them good marks for something that's super easy, has great presentation possibilites and would hit the mark for most everybody but me.

My husbands first comment after taking one bite was, "You made a peanut butter cup!" He loved them. I followed the recipe exactly as written and they were addicting and beyond delicious!
