The first time my mom made these Reese’s Peanut Butter Bars for us, I was hooked. I mean, what’s not to love about peanut butter? I really hadn’t thought about making some until I had volunteered to bring desserts to a luncheon and wanted to do something “easy.”
Instead of using standard peanut butter, I opted for the Reese’s brand. It perfectly compliments the peanut butter cups that are sprinkled on top.
These bars only take a couple of minutes to whip up and are sure to satisfy any sweet tooth. Enjoy!
