My sis requested (like you've never heard this before) something Reese's for her birthday (it's either peanut butter or s'mores every year). I've made her buckeyes and buckeye squares along with lot's of other peanut butter things, I posted making "Reese's Squares" in the past (click here for that recipe) but technically those were buckeye squares - this time I thought I'd try making them with the addition of graham cracker crumbs to make them even more Reese's like. And they turned out great, I will for sure make this recipe again. I followed it exactly and the only thing I'll do differently next time is to add a pinch of coarse salt - I used unsalted butter and it needed just that little pop of salty in all the sweet.
Side note: Kyle had one and said to me 'you know what is the only thing that would make these better?' and I said to add salt? LOL yep that's exactly what he thought as well.
The reviews are quite good but my favorite one is:
"My "expert" (her dad) said it wasn't good enough to be a true Reese's because it didn't have chocolate on the bottom, but he liked the over all taste and texture."
haha - not good enough to be a true Reese's 🙄😂
I forgot to take more pics, this was all the squares left to photograph haha!
- INGREDIENTS:
1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
1 lb. confectioners' sugar (3 to 3 1/2 cups)
1 1/2 cups peanut butter
1 cup butter, melted
1 (12 oz.) bag milk chocolate chips
DIRECTIONS:
- Combine graham crumbs, sugar and peanut butter and mix well.
- Blend in melted butter until well combined.
- Press mixture evenly into a 9 x 13 inch pan.
- Melt chocolate chips in microwave or in double boiler.
- Spread over peanut butter mixture.
- Chill until just set and cut into bars (these are very hard to cut if the chocolate gets "rock hard").
