Reese Bars



These easy bars taste just like the famous peanut butter cups, in bar form! YUM!


Reese Bars
-------------
2 cups peanut butter
1/2 cup butter, softened
3 cups powdered sugar
1/2 cup graham cracker crumbs
1 tsp. vanilla
2 cups milk chocolate or semi-sweet chocolate chips, whichever you prefer

In a large saucepan, melt peanut butter and butter together. Using a wooden spoon, stir in powdered sugar, graham cracker crumbs and vanilla. Stir well to combine. Press into a 9x13 pan lined with wax paper or foil. Set in refrigerator to set. In a small saucepan, melt chocolate chips and spread on top of peanut butter bars. Return to fridge to set. Once chocolate is set, pull bars out using wax paper or foil that is lining pan and cut into bars (a pizza cutter works great for this). I store these in the refrigerator, otherwise they get too soft. Makes 20-24 bars, depending on size.
