This was a nice recipe using things I had on hand. With Easter just around the corner, I made mine into egg shapes instead of bars. I made some slight variation as follows: First I made the peanut butter mixture, formed into eggs and froze till firm- then I quickly coated with chocolate. For the chocolate, I used 1 1/4 cup chips + 2 teaspoons of Crisco in order to form a smooth, glossy coating for my eggs. I then let the coated eggs cool overnight. Note, about 10 graham cracker squares (or about 5 whole crackers) equal 1 cup of crumbs. This one is worthy of an Easter Basket- Very rich, but oh so yummy!

I make my own peanut butter cups every Christmas and each year I search out new recipes to try for the filling. Well, my search is over. This filling is great!! It's the texture and taste I've been looking for. I made the peanut butter filling exactly as listed, but if you don't like things that are super sweet, you might consider decreasing the amount of powdered sugar. Thanks Tonkcats for posting this and ending my search!

I made them like real peanut butter cups. I put 8 mini choc chips in bottom of mini muffin tins. Melted them and spread on bottom. Chilled to set. Mixed filling and put evenly into cups. Chilled again. Put melted choc ontop and chilled again. Took to work and they were a huge hit. These will be on my xmas candy list for sure!!

These are great. I needed something easy when I was in a time crunch tonight. We were having a family over for dinner and family night, and I needed a dessert. This took me a total of 10 minutes, at most to make, and everyone raved over it. Tasted better than peanut butter cups, IMHO. Thanks so much.

I work at a summer camp for kids and at first I was hesitant to make these because I wasn't sure if they would get tired of the sweetness of them...let me tell you-they LOVED them! I made 3 batches of 36 bars and every single one of them was gone by the end of the day. In fact before leaving work I still heard kids asking me if I had any more and one child even asked me if he could lick the spoon!!! Needless to say, if you like Reeses you will love these excellent copycats. They are a bit sweet though, so have plenty of milk

I was very happy with these and with the ease and quickness of making them. It was great to have my three year old be able to help me. They did turn out crumbly, but I am hoping next time I make them they will turn out better if I get some creamy peanut butter because I only had crunchy. If it wasn't for dh hauling them off to work, I wouldn't be able to stay out of them. Ty for a tasty little treat!

WOW! I figured this was gonna be good but never expected it to be this good! This is absolutely the closest thing to genuine Reese's peanut butter cups that I have tasted. The only change I made to the recipe was to put a thin layer of melted chocolate on the bottom of the 8X8 pan. Thanks for a great recipe!

Kids loved these. There was no baking just mixing involved. I found that I needed to add a little extra peanut butter to get things to hold together better but that was my fault as I added about 1/4 cup extra graham cracker crumbs, in order to finish the box.These were gone in no time. Thanks for such an easy and tasty recipe.

I am not a fan of Reeses Cups but liked this as did the kids. It is really sweet cut the pieces small! I refrigerated the pan so the chocolate would set up faster (it's 90+ degrees here and there is no sir conditioning I did cut them before putting in the refrigeratorso the chocolate wouldn't crack. These are good and I will definately be making them again
