REESE’S PEANUT BUTTER BARS
So, my husband and I have finally reached the cool factor in our oldest son’s eyes.
You know that stage that teenagers go through where their parents are lame and so not cool. Yeah, I think we finally got out of that stage. Woo hoo! Lucky for us our younger two still think we are cool…we are hoping they skip the “we think our parents are uncool” stage.
My husband has an old Saab convertible that is his baby. Our oldest thought it was the ugliest thing. That is until some of his friends started saying how cool his dad’s car was. And that they thought his dad was a cool dad too. All of a sudden he doesn’t mind being seen at the movies with dad and mom when his friends are around. Score 1 point for the parents.
Reese's Peanut Butter Bars - rich brownie like bars that have three times the Reese's peanut butter in them. Awesome dessert recipe.
Then the other day, he came home from school and told me that they were talking about food in Spanish class, so he shared about my blog. His teacher couldn’t believe that he got to try all the food that is on here. Then later that day, someone from another class said, “I didn’t know you had a famous baker for a mom.” (really, I’m not famous…but I’ll let his friends think that for sure)

Reese’s Peanut Butter Bars
Three times the peanut butter love makes these Reese's Peanut Butter Bars disappear every time we make them.
Ingredients
1/2 cup butter
2 cups peanut butter chips
1/4 cup sugar
1/2 cup brown sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla
3 eggs
1 1/4 cups flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 cups halved mini Reese's peanut butter cups
For the Chocolate Frosting
4 Tablespoons butter
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
6 Tablespoons whipping cream
2 cups powdered sugar
1/4 cup dark cocoa powder
1/3 cup mini Reese's Pieces
Instructions
Melt the butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Add the peanut butter chips and stir until melted and creamy. Stir in the sugars. Remove from the heat.
Beat the eggs and vanilla until frothy. Stir a little bit of the hot peanut butter mixture in at a time, until all is mixed in. Add the flour and salt and beat until a soft dough forms.
Stir in the halved peanut butter cups and spread the mixture in a greased 9x13 baking pan. Bake at 350 degrees for 23-24 minutes. Cool completely.
Beat the butter and vanilla until creamy. Add the whipping cream, powdered sugar, and cocoa powder and beat until creamy. Spread over the cooled bars and sprinkle with Reese's Pieces. Cut into 24 large bars or 48 small bars. Store in a sealed container on the counter.
