This Reese’s Peanut Butter Bars recipe makes a delicious peanut butter and chocolate dessert that is easy to make and disappears fast!
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!

Wow these look like a peanut butter lover’s dream. I can’t wait to give them a try. Usually, all of my peanut butter confections require equal amounts of chocolate, but these look simply delicious without it!
