One of my weaknesses for American 'candy' is Reese's Peanut Butter Cups.
I recently found some King Size ones in a local sweet shop but they were about £2.50 for a pack of two!
So, when someone pointed me to this recipe I thought it sounded too good to be true - the replies regarding flavour were all pretty favourable so I made a 'slab'...
Turned out way better than I could have wished - it tastes just like the real deal!
The 'bars' freeze fine and can be eaten straight from the freezer if, like me, you like your chocolate cold.
Ingredients
1 cup salted butter (melted) (225g)
2 cups keebler graham cracker crumbs (200g) (substitute digestive biscuits crushed)
1/4 cup brown sugar (43g)
1 3/4 cup powdered sugar (390g) (I used half this amount and found the results sweet enough)
1 cup peanut butter (225g)
1/2 tsp. vanilla
1 (11 oz) bag milk chocolate chips (300g) (sub 2 bars of decent milk chocolate - I used 2x200g bars of Lindt Milk cooking chocolate )
Instructions
Combine all ingredients, except chocolate chips in a medium sized bowl. Stir until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
Pour peanut butter mixture into a 9x13 pan.
Melt chocolate chips in the microwave (at 50% power) for 1-2 minutes. Stir chocolate and pour over the peanut butter mixture. Spread chocolate with a spatula. To even out chocolate, tap pan on the counter.
Refrigerate bars for one hour. Cut while bars are still cool. Enjoy!
