Description
Homemade Reese’s Bars are rich, no-bake treats made with a creamy peanut butter filling and topped with smooth melted chocolate, tasting just like the classic candy bar.
Ingredients
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups powdered sugar
- 1 1/2 cups milk chocolate chips
- 1/4 cup peanut butter (for chocolate topping)
Instructions
- Line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, mix 1 cup peanut butter, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Gradually add powdered sugar and mix until a thick, smooth dough forms.
- Press the peanut butter mixture evenly into the prepared pan.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, melt chocolate chips and 1/4 cup peanut butter in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth.
- Pour the melted chocolate mixture over the peanut butter layer and spread evenly.
- Refrigerate for 1–2 hours, or until fully set.
- Lift from the pan, cut into bars, and serve.
Notes

- Use dark chocolate for a less sweet version.
- Let bars sit at room temperature for a few minutes before cutting for cleaner slices.
