This recipe was very easy and quick to make. Great for unexpected company and kids! I think there is a bit to much butter in it for my taste, next time I will only use 1/2 cup instead. I used natural peanut butter and everything turned out fine. Definitely needs to stay in the fridge though! ;-)

This is very nice - sweet and really rich, but nice. In order to really make it taste like a peanut butter cup, you need to add a little salt to the peanut butter layer.

These take me back to elementary school. We would get these twice a week for desert at our lunch. These are wonderful and so easy to make. Everyone loved them and asked for the recipe. Thank you Nancy for the recipe.

This recipe is very forgiving. Made with Chocolate Graham Crackers and mixture of white & chocolate chips too. Very Yummy!

Use milk chocolate chips instead... and we will probably double the recipe this time. These were delicious and easy.

I've made these many times. Everyone LOVES them and they are very easy to make. Better than Reese's.

I have always loved Reeses Peanut butter cups - and these bars are like Reeses Peanut butter cups from heaven. Everyone in the family LOVED them; my Dad said he could eat a whole pan. I've made them twice and they disappear every time. Be sure to pound your graham crackers into very fine crumbs if you like a smoother texture. Awesome recipe!!

Chocolate and peanut butter = the best combination ever! Just like Reeses, but maybe a bit sweeter. Very easy! I made half the recipe and used an 8x8in pan, and was able to cut it into 16 bars. Next time I will line the pan with foil or plastic wrap, so that I can remove them from the pan, then cut into squares (I had some trouble getting the first piece out and the corners). I might double the chocolate layer next time too.

Super yummy! The peanut butter part of the bars came out a little mushy...I would suggest using a little less butter like other people have suggested. That is one reason I gave this recipe only 4 stars...the other reason is that when I was melting the butter in the microwave, I was careless and must have left it in there for too long. As I was taking the bowl out of the microwave, I started to stir it with a spatula and it EXPLODED all over me and the kitchen. My wrist and hand got burned pretty badly. Apparently because of the high water content in butter, it has a tendency of superheating and possibly exploding; especially when using a glass bowl (which is what I used). So please be careful when melting things in the microwave! After the incident, I cleaned up, and kept going with the recipe...taking the bars to a BBQ tonight, hopefully everyone likes them!

These bars are the best! Everyone says they are better than Reese's PB Cups. I was skeptical because im not a Huge fan of graham crackers but they were amazing! I didnt make any changes to the recipe. The Peanut butter this recipe calls for equaled one small jar of PB and the choc chips equal a little less than one bag. I will be making these again. possibly for my christmas cookie trays.
