Favorite Friday Recipe: Crispy Peanut Butter Cup Bars


If you're a fan of peanut butter, this is the recipe for you!  From Tasty Kitchen:

Ingredients:
  • 3-½ cups Powdered Sugar
  • 1-½ stick Butter, Melted
  • 2 cups Natural Peanut Butter
  • 3 cups Rice Krispies
  • 16 ounces, weight Semi-sweet Chocolate
Directions:

Mix the powdered sugar, butter, peanut butter, and Rice Krispies together in a large bowl. Lightly butter a 9×13 baking dish, then spoon in the peanut butter mixture. Use a spatula to spread evenly. Melt the chocolate, then layer evenly on top. Refrigerate for an hour or two, then cut into bars and store in an airtight container in the fridge or freezer.

Note: If using processed peanut butter (Jif, Peter Pan, etc.), decrease sugar by at least 1/2 cup. Also, use whatever chocolate you like best—anything from milk to bittersweet to something in between! 

My personal favorite chocolate to use when baking is Guittard milk chocolate.  Here's the finished product served up on my new (to me) Riviera plate!

  1. I will be printing this recipe for DH and asking him to bake them for me on Sunday. I am a peanut butter nut, no pun intended.
