How To Make Reese's Peanut Butter Bars
Ingredients
- 1 cup margarine, melted
- 2 ½ cup powdered sugar
- 1 cup peanut butter, chunky
- 1 cup graham cracker crumbs
- 12 oz milk chocolate, chocolate chips or bar
Instructions
-
Line a 9x13" pan with parchment or wax paper. Mix 2 sticks of butter, powdered sugar, peanut butter, and graham cracker crumbs. Spread mixture on the bottom of the pan.
-
Melt chocolate (see note) and spread over mixture in pan. Let set in a cool place. Remove from pan and cut into desired shapes.
-
Note: You can melt the chocolate either in the microwave or in a double boiler:
-
In a Microwave Oven: Place coarsely chopped chocolate in a microwave-safe container and microwave at medium (50 percent power) for 1 ½-4 minutes, until the chocolate turns shiny. Remove the container from the microwave and stir the chocolate until completely melted.
-
Stir milk and white chocolates after about 1 ½ minutes. Because of their milk proteins, they need to be stirred sooner than dark chocolate. (If overheated, these chocolates may become grainy.)
-
In a Double Boiler: Place coarsely chopped chocolate in the top of a double boiler over hot, not simmering, water. Melt the chocolate, stirring until smooth. Remove the top part of the double boiler from the bottom
