Equipment

Ingredients
  

For the peanut butter bars

  • 12 Reese's Peanut Butter Cups
  • 10 full-size graham crackers
  • 1 cup butter salted, melted
  • 2 cups powdered sugar
  • 1 cup peanut butter creamy, not all-natural
  • ⅓ cup brown sugar packed tightly
  • ¾ cup Reese's Pieces

For the chocolate peanut butter ganache

  • 1¾ cups milk chocolate chips
  • 2 tablespoons peanut butter creamy, not all-natural
  • ¾ cup Reese's Pieces divided

Instructions
 

For the peanut butter bars

  • Prepare a 9x9 baking dish by lining the bottom with parchment paper.
  • Line the bottom of the pan with Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups turned upside down.
  • Place graham crackers in a food processor to make crumbs.
  • In a large mixing bowl, mix the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, powdered sugar, peanut butter, and brown sugar. Mix together until well combined.
  • Press the dough into the prepared pan on top of the Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups.
  • Pour the Reese's Pieces over the dough and press them in.

For the chocolate peanut butter ganache

  • Add the chocolate chips and peanut butter to a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in 20-second bursts, stirring well after each burst, until smooth. It should take only a minute or so.
  • Pour the warm ganache over the bars and spread out evenly.
  • Crush half of the Reese's Pieces by placing them in a zippered plastic bag and pressing them with the bottom of a measuring cup or glass. Sprinkle over the top of the ganache. Sprinkle with the remaining Reese's Pieces and gently press them into the chocolate with your hand.
  • Cover the pan with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 3 hours to set.
  • Slice to desired size and serve chilled.
