Reese’s Chocolate Peanut Butter Bars

By srumbel

Satisfy your chocolate and peanut butter cravings in less than 30 minutes. Besides for being inherently awesome due to the peanut butter and chocolate factors, these bars are also no-bake which makes them perfect year-round for chocolate and peanut butter addicted people. In a pinch, I can whip up a batch of these bars in under 30 minutes and that includes refrigeration time. Not bad, right? These also look pretty darn amazing on a Christmas cookie laden tray. Trust me on this; they will go fast.
