One of the reasons you don’t see many desserts around here is because as much as I would love to be, I am not a baker. I just can not seem to get it right in the kitchen when it comes to baking. But, luckily for me I can do no-bake desserts!
Reese’s Peanut Butter Bars are one of the easiest things to whip up. Whether you are taking these to a holiday party, bake sale, or just enjoying a pan at home, these are sure to be a hit.

Line or grease a 9×9 casserole pan and set aside. In a medium-sized bowl, combine the butter, crumbs, sugar and peanut butter and stir to combine. (Or you can alternatively mix in a food processor.)
Press into the casserole pan into an even layer.
In a microwave-safe bowl, place the chocolate chips and heat in 25 second bursts. Stir in between each heating until fully melted.
Pour the melted chocolate over the peanut butter layer and smooth out with an offset spatula. Place in the refrigerator to set for 2 hours or overnight. Cut into 9 squares and serve or package.
