creamy peanut butter layer

I made these on a random Tuesday night because I had a craving I couldn’t shake, and honestly… I didn’t expect them to turn out this good. My husband walked into the kitchen, saw me cutting them, and before I could even say anything he’d already eaten two pieces standing at the counter.These no-bake peanut butter bars taste exactly like a homemade Reese’s cup, but better. That creamy peanut butter layer with the buttery graham cracker base, then that glossy chocolate on top… it’s dangerously good. I brought them to a potluck last weekend and someone literally asked if I bought them from a bakery. Best compliment ever.The best part? No oven. No waiting. Just mix, layer, chill, and try not to eat half the pan before anyone else gets to them.**INGREDIENTS:***For the peanut butter layer:*- 1 cup creamy peanut butter- 1 cup unsalted butter, melted- 2 cups powdered sugar- 1½ cups graham cracker crumbs*For the chocolate topping:*- 1½ cups chocolate chips- 3 tablespoons peanut butter- Mini Reese’s cups, chocolate chips, and peanut butter chips for topping**INSTRUCTIONS:**1. Line a 9×9 baking dish with parchment paper.2. Mix the melted butter, peanut butter, powdered sugar, and graham cracker crumbs until completely combined and smooth.3. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of the pan until even and compact.4. Melt the chocolate chips and peanut butter together until silky and smooth.5. Pour the chocolate over the peanut butter layer and spread evenly to the edges.6. Immediately top with chopped Reese’s cups, chocolate chips, and peanut butter chips while the chocolate is still soft.7. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours until firm and sliceable.8. Cut into squares and watch them disappear.These keep in the fridge for about a week… if they last that long. Mine were gone in two days. Would you add even more Reese’s on top or keep it like this?
