A good friend's favorite potluck dessert. They're reminiscent of Reese's Peanut Butter Cups but more chocolatey. An easy no-bake dessert. (There are similar recipes available but I haven't come across one that is exactly like Allie's.)

Ingredients

2 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
1 cup smooth peanut butter
1 cup butter, melted
2 1/2 cups powdered sugar

How To Make allie's chocolate peanut butter bars

Step 1

Place parchment paper sprayed with non-stick spray in a 9x13 baking dish.

Step 2

Using a hand mixer, mix graham cracker crumbs, peanut butter, melted butter and powdered sugar until combined; press into the baking dish until packed into an even layer.
Step 3

Melt chocolate chips in the microwave by cooking on high for 30 seconds, stirring, and repeating until completely melted; spread melted chocolate evenly over the peanut butter layer.
Step 4

Evenly sprinkle the Reese's Baking Cups and Reese's Pieces Candy over the chocolate. Refrigerate until set (approximately 4 hours) and ready to serve (or, see below for optional cutting instructions).
Step 5

Optional but makes them easier to cut: Place in freezer for 10-15 minutes (the chocolate won't be completely hardened but it will be starting to get really thick). Once cut, leave in the pan and refrigerate (NOT FREEZE) for a couple of hours. Keep refrigerated until ready to serve for best results.
