Reese’s Peanut Butter No-Bake Bars are one of my go‑to recipes when I want all the flavor of a peanut butter cup without turning on the oven. The peanut butter layer is thick, rich, and ultra‑creamy, while the chocolate topping (usually a simple mix of melted chocolate and a bit of peanut butter) sets into a smooth shell that cracks slightly when you bite in. These bars taste like giant homemade Reese’s in square form and come together in just a few minutes of mixing and chilling.
What I love about this recipe is how pantry‑friendly and forgiving it is. The base uses only creamy peanut butter, melted unsalted butter, and powdered sugar, which blend into a smooth dough that presses easily into a pan. From there, you simply pour a chocolate layer over the top and let the fridge do the work. They’re perfect for holidays, potlucks, bake sales, or any time you want a sweet treat without fussing with baking times.
