Ingredients

  • 8 tablespoons unsalted butter melted
  • 2 cups Ritz cracker crumbs about 60 crackers

  • 3/4 cup peanut butter divided
  • 2 tablespoons peanut butter divided
  • 1 cup chocolate chips
  • 20 miniature Reeses Peanut Butter Cups chopped
  • 1 cup Reeses Pieces

Instructions

  • Line a 9x9 inch baking dish with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal.
  • In a large mixing bowl, combine melted unsalted butter and Ritz cracker crumbs. Stir until coated.
  • Add powdered sugar and 3/4 cup peanut butter to the mixture and mix until well combined and thick.
  • Transfer mixture to the prepared baking dish and press down evenly with a spatula, packing tightly.

  • Pour chocolate-peanut butter mixture over the crust and Reeses Cups; spread evenly with a spatula.
  • Sprinkle Reeses Pieces on top of the melted chocolate, pressing gently to adhere.

Notes

  • Use gluten-free crackers to make this recipe gluten-free.
  • Swap peanut butter with almond butter or sunbutter for a different twist.
  • Use dark chocolate chips for a richer chocolate flavor.
  • Let the melted chocolate cool slightly before pouring to avoid melting the base layers.
  • Store bars in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week or freeze for longer storage.
