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.
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
The crust is made from graham cracker crumbs, butter, and powdered sugar.
The top is made with melted chocolate and peanut butter. You may have to lick the spatula. Just sayin’.
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!

Homemade Reese's Bars
It's really dangerous knowing you can make Homemade Reese's Bars at home. I mean chocolate peanut butter bars are one of my favorite things. Sure, I love a Reese's Peanut Butter Cup too but bars are so much easier to make.
Ingredients
- 1 cup butter, melted
- 2 cups graham cracker crumbs
- 2 cups powdered sugar
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1 1/2 cups semisweet chocolate chips
- 1/4 cup peanut butter
Instructions
-
In a medium bowl, stir together graham cracker crumbs, confectioners' sugar, peanut butter and melted butter. Press firmly into the bottom of a 9x13 inch pan.
-
Melt chocolate chips and peanut butter in the microwave, stirring occasionally. Spread melted chocolate over the crumb crust. Chill for one hour and then cut into squares.

It had been a long time since I had made these. Googled to land here. BTW, it takes about two less graham cracker sheets shy of two-thirds of a box to make two cups of crumbs. The box is the same size but now only weighs 14.4 oz. Instead of a full pound. If I make these again, I will only use 1 1/2 cups of powdered sugar. These bars are really, really sweet.
I just made this recipe and it reminds me of one I made back in my childhood. A couple key differences. first off we used butter instead of peanut butter in the chocolate. Maybe another stick of butter in the crust.
Ooh more butter sounds divine.
These are delish PLUS fast & easy. Definitely all thumbs up in this house!
So happy to hear that!
Super easy and pretty tasty! But tastes nothing like a Reese’s.
Sorry. I think they do.
Hi I am planning on making the bars today and was wondering if you put PB in th crust. Just confused cause in the beginning of the article it doesn’t say to then the recipe says to.
Thanks a bunch
Yes, the crust has PB in it.
I messed them up by putting the peanut butter in the crust on accident!!! Ughhhhhh so sad
Oh never mind i did what it said, it’s very wet crust though for some reason.
So…i messed them up…help….
What went wrong?
Made these. Turned out amazing, tasted just like Reese’s peanut butter cups. Although I chose to double the topping. Put mine in the fridge to set. Everyone loved them. Didn’t even last 24 hours. Thanks for the recipe. Will definitely make again.
Double the chocolate can never be bad!
