A wonderful option for people like me who like to get their peanut butter fix. And they do taste like Reeses cups! I will definately make these again!

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.

Absolutely delicious. Definitely satisfies that PB/Chocolate craving. As a child they would serve these to us at school and called them "peanut butter candy." I have looked forever for this recipe. Wonderful!

This was OK. I personally did not really like them. They were just not that PB tasting. That being said, I took them to a BBQ this weekend and they were all eaten.

these are delicious! i pack my fiances lunch for work every morning, and i try to make sure there's a home made treat in there for him everydsy. I just made these and they are quick and simple an oh so tasty. the only thing i did differently was add 5 tbs peanut butter to the chocolate chips instead of just 4 because the mixture was still a tad too bitter, and i used 1 1/2 sticks of butter as opposed to 2.

These were delicious! Flavor was good. I would use a little less butter next time. We had to keep them refrigerated because the bottom layer got really soft otherwise.

We made these 2x this weekend. The first time i only use 1.5 sticks of butter and didn't get the choc. top put on right away. We thought they were dry. The next batch we made exact as recipe said. They need something, maybe a litte layer of Peanut butter between the bottom & top layer ? They were ok. Easy to make. The kids had fun making and eating them.

What an unbelievable recipe!!! This was SOOOO easy to make, and it was incredibly good. I didn't have graham cracker crumbs (pre-done). I used my amazing Vitamix and it used about two packages of graham crackers ground up. Each package seemed to make one cup of crumbs. Will make this again and again. This is going in my cookbook, for sure!!! The only thing that confused me on this recipe is the serving of 12… This made WAY more than 12 bars. To get 12 bars, you would have to cut these into enormous bars… I made decent size squares and it came out to be about 42 squares.

I am so happy to have stumbled across this recipe! I can eat peanut butter by the spoonfuls, and adding chocolate just puts me on cloud 9! Using only 1.5 sticks of butter my base came out a little dry. I would like the PB flavor to come out a little more than the graham cracker, so I may add bit more PB next time and see how that turns out. Processing the graham crackers and melting the ingredients as suggested work great. Many thanks for the recipe and all the suggestions!

WOW!!! These were delicious and very easy to make. I took someone elses suggestion and cut down on the butter. I only used 1 1/2 sticks and they still turned out great!! I highly recommend this recipe.
