Reese’s Peanut Butter Bars

It’s Day eight in our 12 Days of Christmas Baking series (thank goodness, because we’re just about sugared out around here!) I tried these Reese’s Peanut Butter Bars over the weekend and they were just perfect.   I found the recipe at All Recipes (love that place!) and while I tweaked it a bit with what we had on hand, they were simply delicious.

They keep best in the fridge, and you can choose to either use milk chocolate or semi sweet chocolate to top them with . . . either way I’m betting your family will love every last bite.  I can’t believe it’s taken me this many years to find these, but oh my heavens we’ll be making them again soon!
