Chocolate Peanut Butter Bars

Chocolate and peanut butter. It's probably my favorite flavor combination on earth. It's addicting. There should be a support group for people like me. Please tell me I'm not alone. If you make me chocolate & peanut butter anything, you're a friend for life. It's just that simple.

These Chocolate Peanut Butter Bars I'm sharing today are crazy good. Easy to make. Addicting. Decadent. Rich. Almost like fudge, melt in your mouth. . .goodness.

A tall glass of ice-cold milk is mandatory with one of these babies and a small pan can make A LOT of people very happy. Why? Because you really only need a small square to satisfy your chocolate and peanut butter cravings. They're rich, so I wouldn't go and eat the whole pan yourself, or you're going to have bigger problems than just feelings of guilt. Trust me. These bars are to share with friends.

They also freeze well, so if you just want to enjoy a few at a time, that's definitely an option, too. If you're interested in joining the chocolate & peanut butter support group that I mentioned previously, email me and we'll talk. Maybe over milk and one of these bars. 🙂

Ingredients

• ▢ 2 cups white chocolate chips
• ▢ 1 cup peanut butter
• ▢ 2 cups chocolate chips
• ▢ 1 cup bite-size Reese's Peanut Butter Cup Minis (each cup cut in half)
• ▢ ½ cup heavy cream

Instructions

• Line an 8x8 pan with waxed paper.
• Melt the white chocolate chips in the microwave - stopping and stirring until the chips are completely melted. Add in the peanut butter and mix well until smooth.
• Pour the mixture into the pan and place in the freezer for 10-15 minutes or until slightly firm.
• In a saucepan, over medium-high heat, combine the chocolate chips and the cream until the chips are melted, stirring constantly.
• Pour over the peanut butter layer.
• Sprinkle the Reese's Minis over the chocolate layer.
• Chill for at least 4 hours or overnight. When firm, cut into bars.

Notes

1. Use Quality Ingredients: Opt for high-quality chocolate chips and peanut butter to ensure the best flavor and texture in your bars. Choose chocolate chips with a high cocoa content for a rich, intense chocolate flavor. Similarly, select smooth and creamy peanut butter without any added sugar or oils for the best results. Quality ingredients will elevate the taste of your bars and make them truly irresistible.
2. Evenly Spread Layers: When pouring and spreading each layer in the pan, strive for an even distribution to ensure that every bite of the bars has a balanced combination of flavors. Use a spatula or the back of a spoon to spread each layer evenly across the pan, taking care to reach all edges and corners. This ensures that each layer sets uniformly and creates a visually appealing finished product.
3. Proper Chilling Time: Allow the bars to chill for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, to ensure they are set properly and develop the right texture. Chilling allows the layers to firm up and meld together, creating a cohesive and delicious treat. Cutting the bars when they're too soft may result in messy edges, so be patient and allow them to chill until firm before slicing them into bars for clean, professional-looking results.
