Homemade chocolate peanut butter bars
🥜🍫 This Is Why I’m Fat… and Honestly, I Regret Nothing 😅
Y’all… I made these homemade chocolate peanut butter bars, and let me tell you — this is exactly why I can’t be trusted in the kitchen. These things are so good, I had to hide them from myself… which didn’t work because, well, I know all my hiding spots.
If you love Reese’s cups but wish they came in “family-size portions for one,” this recipe is your new best friend. Every bite tastes like heaven, gym membership cancellation included.
Here’s the damage 👇
Homemade Chocolate Peanut Butter Bars
• 1 (12 oz) jar peanut butter
• 1 (16 oz) box powdered sugar
• 1½ sticks butter, melted
• 2 large (8 oz) Hershey bars, melted
Directions:
1. Mix peanut butter, powdered sugar, and melted butter together until smooth.
2. Press the mixture into a 13x9 pan.
3. Pour the melted chocolate on top and spread it evenly.
4. Chill for about an hour (or as long as you can resist).
5. Cut into squares — or don’t, I won’t judge if you just grab a fork.
They’re rich, sweet, and dangerously addictive. Basically, the dessert equivalent of “just one more episode.” 🍫

If you're a fan of classic chocolate and peanut butter combos like Reese’s peanut butter cups, this homemade version is a game changer. What makes these bars so special is their simple recipe that requires no baking, making it perfect even for beginner bakers or busy schedules.

Topped with luscious melted Hershey’s chocolate, these bars chill into a perfectly firm yet tender dessert that’s easy to slice and share—or not! When making these bars, feel free to customize to your taste. For a saltier touch, sprinkle some sea salt flakes on top of the chocolate before chilling. Want to add a crunchy surprise?

Store leftovers in the fridge to keep them fresh longer, and they’ll hold their shape beautifully. Although indulgent, sharing these bars with friends or family spreads joy and sweet moments.
