No Bake Chocolate Peanut Butter Bars
The smooth peanut butter swirls on these no-bake cookie bars are a lot easier than they look. Combine HERSHEY'S SPECIAL DARK Chocolate Chips and REESE'S Peanut Butter Chips and pour them over a crumbly graham cracker crust. These cookie squares are great for taking on the go or serving at parties.
Ingredients
- 2-1/4 cups graham cracker crumbs (about15 full-size graham cracker sheets)
- 1/2 cup REESE'S Creamy Peanut Butter plus 1/3 cup , divided
- 1/3 cup butter or margarine , melted
- 1-1/4 cups HERSHEY'S SPECIAL DARK Chocolate Chips
- 1/4 cup REESE'S Peanut Butter Chips
Directions
- 1. Line 8- or 9-inch square pan with wax paper or parchment paper extending paper over edges of pan.
- 2. Combine graham cracker crumbs, 1/2 cup peanut butter and 1/3 cup butter (melted) in food processor until well blended and mixture holds together. Press mixture into bottom and corners of prepared pan.
- 3. Place chocolate chips and remaining 1/3 cup peanut butter in medium microwave-safe bowl. Microwave at MEDIUM (50%) 1 minute; stir. If necessary, microwave at MEDIUM an additional 15 seconds at a time, stirring after each heating, until chocolate is melted and mixture is smooth when stirred. Spread mixture evenly over graham cracker layer.
- 4. Place peanut butter chips in small microwave-safe bowl. Microwave at MEDIUM 30 seconds; stir. If necessary, microwave at MEDIUM in 10 second increments, stirring after each heating, until melted and smooth. Drop by teaspoons onto the chocolate peanut butter layer.
