These bars are so good! I used half creamy & half crunchy peanut butter because that’s what I had. It was pretty sweet and sort of dry, so I think next time I’ll cut back on the powdered sugar, but oh, yum!
Made these for a party and they were a HUGE hit!!
A new family favorite.
I substituted Caramel condensed milk by Eagle Brand and did 1/2 mixture of peanut butter chips and chocolate chips. Also added 1/4 tsp espresso powder into chocolate mixture. Also sprinkled coarse sea salt onto top of bars and then placed in refrigerator….hmmmm…so good….Mary
Awesome dessert snack made without baking necessary. I used 3/4 cup butter. I substituted 1/2 of the graham crackers with salted pretzels because I didn’t have enough graham crackers. The saltiness tempered the sweetness. I followed some of the other suggestions by using a larger jelly tool pan, instead of a 9 x 13 cake pan.
Fabulous! If you like peanut butter and chocolate together, give this a try, I think you will be in dream land. I did use my kitchen scale to make sure I had the right amount of graham cracker. Thank you for sharing this recipe.
Oh my gosh this recipe is good and so easy to make! I took this on a girls trip last weekend, and everyone raved about it and asked for the recipe. It was such a hit. I followed the recipe exactly, and made no modifications. I did note one raters point however, that 1 box of graham crackers is only 14.5 oz, and used 4 full crackers from a second box. Thanks to mom2frankandy for submitting this.
This recipe was amazing! The mixture of graham crackers and peanut butter was unbelievably yummy. Super easy to make and can’t wait for another excuse to make them. The only slight change I made was adding about 1/4 cup of powdered sugar to the chocolate chips after melting to make the chocolate a little sweeter. I’ve never had a Clark bar but these were similar to reeses cups
These were amazing and so easy to make! we’ll definitely make these again!
I made these and brought them to a barbecue. They were a huge hit. Several people asked me for the recipe!
These are very good. Very easy to make although I did end up having to crush the graham crackers myself. I ended up using natural peanut butter and the sweetness was pretty much perfect so if I was using regular peanut butter I might decrease the sugar by half a cup. With the natural peanut butter I had to refrigerate it for half an hour so it would set enough for the chocolate to be spread on top. I poured it in the pan as opposed to pressing it. I also used a mix of chipits and that was nice but if you don’t have as much of a sweet tooth I could definitely see using a less sweet chocolate. They did taste quite a bit like a reeses peanut butter cup which is also very sweet and about a 1″ x 1″ bite. I am keeping this as an easy low mess prep. Definitely needs the time in refrigeration though so not one to do just before heading out somewhere.
Delicious. I used a little less powdered sugar because I only had a partial bag. I think you could get by with 14 to 16 oz. of the graham crackers. I used the full box (16 oz) and my crust was a bit crumbly and dry in a couple spots. No big deal. These are really, really tasty but very rich. Cut into small squares with a very sharp knife.
I call this Better than Reeses! Everyone loves this bar and is always asking for it.
My father-in-law first made these for my son, so of course, I had to try them too. They are easy and very good. They don’t last long in my home.
Very easy and tasty. I used graham cracker crumbs (weighed the appropriate amount on a food scale) instead of whole graham crackers. The bars are very rich and you could probably half the recipe and use an 8×8 pan and still have a decent amount of servings. Got great reviews from the cookout I took them to. Will make again.
Everyone LOVED these!
Huge success! I used milk chocolate.
everone loves these and very easy to make
If you love peanut butter and Reeses peanut butter cups, you’ll devour these!!!
Yummy
I made this for work, but the graham cracker mixture was too crumbly and didn’t hold a bar shape. Next time will reduce the amount of sugar, and add more PB. It tastes great, just not happy with the thickness of the bar portion.
