'reeses' peanut butter leaves



Ok, I'll admit. This is a treat that we make in the fall, in the winter, in the spring and you get what I mean. It is one that we definitely have to share with neighbors and friends, because I could seriously eat the entire large pan by myself.

Reeses peanut butter bars

2 cups peanut butter
6 cups powdered sugar
1 1/4 cup melted butter

Mix and press into a cookie sheet.

Melt 12 ounces of chocolate chips in the microwave for 1 - 1 1/2 minutes. Spread over top.

Put it in the fridge to set the chocolate up for 20 minutes or so. If you wait too long, the chocolate will crack when you cut them and it's not so pretty. If you don't wait long enough it just kind of gooey's all over. If you actually forget about them and leave them in the fridge too long, you can set the pan on the top of a warm oven and it will soften back up pretty well. Aren't you glad that I make mistakes to find such helpful solutions for you? They can be cut into bars, but I like to use seasonal cookie cutters. Besides, then someone has to eat what's left over after you cut...


Enjoy!
