HOMEMADE REESE’S BARS

(originally posted 2009)

Being pregnant chocolate and I have a love/hate relationship right now. I love to eat it but I hate the heartburn that inevitably follows. The solution…chase it with some TUMS.

Homemade Reese's Bars

These suckers taste just like the peanut butter cups that I love. Whenever we buy a variety bag of chocolate, the Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups are always the first to go. Coveted by all our children, they never last long. When I made these Homemade Reese’s Bars for family night last week they about had a heart attack.

INGREDIENTS

All you need are five ingredients to make this dessert and about ten minutes to assemble.

  • butter 
  • graham crackers
  • peanut butter
  • powdered sugar
  • semisweet or milk chocolate chips

Homemade Reese's Bars

Chill them or leave them at room temperature for a softer version which also makes them easier to cut. You can’t mess these up, I promise.

CAN I USE MILK CHOCOLATE CHIPS?

Yes. I prefer semisweet chocolate chips but milk chocolate works well here too!
