The reviewer gave this recipe 5 stars. This recipe averages a 4.51 star rating.

OH MY GOSH these are PERFECTTTTTTTTTT. However, of course, I changed a few tiny things! I used 1.5 cups of melted semi sweet chocolate chips and mixed in about 3 T. of peanut butter for my topping (omit butter). Adding the PB helps keep the chocolate from cracking when you cut them. I also halved the recipe for the peanut butter mixture and used a 13x9" pan. It was the perfect amount. I also liked the ratio of peanut butter to chocolate topping. Mmm. I had tried "Peanut Butter Bars I" before I tried this recipe, but that recipe was a little too dry/gritty for my liking. This one still has the yummy graham cracker taste but it is MUCH more moist. I am in love with these!!!!!!!!

I took some advice and used milk chocolate instead of semisweet. I think there is too much of the peanut butter recipe and not enough of the chocolate. Next time I'll half the peanut butter part. With having so much p.b. I used my mini-muffin pan to create my own little peanut butter cups. Those turned out a little better that the bars since the p.b. to chocolate ratio was better. They are yummy though!

Like some other reviewers I had to put mine in the fridge to set up. Super easy recipe...it took 10 minutes from start to finish. I used natural peanut butter and only 3 cups of sugar with a pinch of salt. I also added some hazelnut liquid coffee creamer to the melted chocolate. Turned out tasting perfect! It does make a LOT though.

These were good, but tasted even better after a few days in the refrigerator. Next time I think I will put a layer of chocolate on the bottom, too.

Good taste but VERY sweet! In fact, I think the amount of sugar was too much. It overwhelmed the peanut butter taste. I would either reduce the amount of sugar or use peanut butter with less sugar in it the next time I make this.

I didn't really like these - very heavy and fudgy, and just too sweet. Mine wouldn't hold together at ALL unless they were stored chilled, maybe I did something wrong. The chocolate top would secrete this oily residue, and it made my stomach hurt after only a few bites. It did taste like Reese's cup... only it made me feel a hundred times worse after eating one. Sorry, just not my taste.

I made these for two of my girlfriends that just had babies! They both called me for the recipe. It made a ton, so our family got the leftovers! I did double the chocolate topping, because the first amount was not enough to cover the top. Great treat!

I decided to try this one out, and it turned out pretty well. My friends LOVED this little confection-one describing it to me as "Better than Reeses!". However, it took WAY longer to set that expected, and text time I'll be adding a thin layer of chocolated on the bottom so it holds together a little better. :D, I'll absolutelty be doing this again!

It would be five stars, but I had to modify the recipe to suit my tastes. For those of you who don't like ultra-sweet desserts: I significantly decreased the amount of powdered sugar. I'm not sure how much I used, because I just went by taste, but I recommend starting with two cups and then adding to taste from there. I also used chunky peanut butter instead of creamy because I really felt it needed a more interesting texture. As for the chocolate topping, I used dark chocolate chips. With those changes, my favorite flavor combination is epitomized in this dessert!
