Ingredients

• 1.5 cups Creamy peanut butter
• 0.5 cup Unsalted butter
• 2 cups Powdered sugar
• 1 cup Graham cracker crumbs
• 2 cups Semisweet chocolate chips
• 1 cup Milk chocolate chips
• 1 tablespoon Coconut oil (optional, for smoother chocolate)

Directions

Step 1

Line a 9x13-inch baking dish with parchment paper or lightly grease it with nonstick spray.

Step 2

In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the unsalted butter in 20-second intervals until fully liquefied.

Step 3

Combine the melted butter, creamy peanut butter, powdered sugar, and graham cracker crumbs in a large mixing bowl. Stir until a smooth, thick mixture forms.

Step 4

Press the peanut butter mixture evenly into the prepared baking dish, using the back of a spatula or your hands to create a smooth layer. Place it in the refrigerator to chill for 15 minutes.

Step 5

While the peanut butter layer chills, combine the semisweet chocolate chips, milk chocolate chips, and coconut oil (if using) in a microwave-safe bowl. Melt the chocolate in 20-30 second intervals, stirring between each interval, until smooth and glossy.

Step 6

Pour the melted chocolate over the chilled peanut butter layer, spreading it evenly with a spatula.

Step 7

Refrigerate the dish for 1-2 hours, or until the chocolate is fully set.

Step 8

Once the candy is set, remove it from the dish using the parchment paper. Slice it into squares or rectangles to mimic traditional Reese's candy shapes.

Step 9

Store the candy in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week or in the freezer for up to 3 months. Bring to room temperature before serving for the best flavor.
