Made these today. With the exception of adding a light sprinkling of flaky sea salt on the freshly poured chocolate layer, I followed the recipe exactly as written. These bars are amazing. The texture of the peanut butter base and the chocolate topping together are absolutely delicious.

I've been making these for decades. They are always a huge hit, and they taste exactly like Reese's Peanut Butter Cups. Pro Tip: If you're using just chocolate for the topping (rather than a mixture of chocolate and peanut butter), you will want to leave them in the fridge only long enough for the chocolate to be *just barely* set but not yet hard (~20-25min). If you chill completely before cutting them into squares, the chocolate will shatter and some pieces will become detached from the peanut butter layer. Doesn't affect the taste at all of course but it does look messy, so if presentation is important (e.g. giving as a gift, or for a party, etc.), then you'll want to make sure you cut before it gets hard.

This is the second recipe I tried from Preppy Kitchen, You already know these are going to be amazing when your kid is licking the batter off the bowls. We both tasted the end result and this bar is WAY BETTER than any peanut butter cup you can buy in the store. Thank you John!

One of my childhood treat memories, my mom would combine the peanut butter, butter, AND honey. Incorporate that extra ingredient for some added sweetness. My ultimate favorite, sweet & salty crunch!!

I made these tonight and they are fantastic! I did use less sugar as I am very sensitive to the taste of it, especially powdered. 1 1/4 cups worked so well for me! A new summer favorite, I love keeping it in the fridge.

I have just made these and OH MY GOODNESS...They taste insanely good. Thank you for the recipe. I have been watching your creations during the current UK lockdown and they all are amazing.

Real food!! The best one ❤ thank you for your work

Oh my gosh that’s my favorite snack also! Throughout both of my pregnancies I had to have a piece of toast with both peanut butter and butter and a cup of tea every single afternoon. And that’s still my comfort food to this day. Sometimes I have it for breakfast. Sometimes it’s a dessert. Sometimes it’s a great lunch!

I made these and took them to my in-laws tonight. Everyone loved them! My mother-in-law even asked for the recipe. I don’t have graham crackers or biscoff cookies where I live but I was able to find a nice substitute. I loved the fact that this is a no-bake dessert and that I didn’t have to turn on my oven in this stupid hot summer.

I saw that popeye4016's comment is really old but wanted to add this for the future. :) I live in a place where graham crackers are an expensive imported item and sub in butter cookies. They are mostly there for a little crunch and aren't the main flavor, so I typically get the generic version of Bahlsen butter cookies. Crunchy sugar cookies or British digestive biscuits would probably be good. In the US, I would also consider something like Nilla wafers (for the rest of the world: they're not wafers, just little vanilla cookies).

I made these for my husband, once, about a year ago and he’s brought up how good they were more times than I can count. Making them for him again for Valentines Day on Monday. Thank you again for this recipe!

Thank you, Mr. Kanell. I am a cooking enthusiast, not even an amateur really, coming across recipes and personalities that are pleasant to have running while I work during the day. I think I found you when I was looking into crust recipes - and eventually came across this peanut butter bar treats. I managed to put this together - initially weighing everything to get the idea - but I often eyeball it or start to feel the ingredients that suit me or who I'm making it for. This was a huge success, enjoyed by both kids and adults. BTW, I enjoyed a segment I found on you when you were on the Drew Barrymore show. It is so nice for me to see you and your lovely family. As an older member of the LGBTQ+ world, I certainly appreciate your role in others' lives whether you realize it or not. I come from a time where being part of this world was very dangerous - and somehow I survived (just barely). I spent several years working for The Trevor Project, giving back to my community in any way I can. People like you help people like me to just be ourselves. Thank you, thank you. Just being you will inspire anyone to be himself/herself/themselves. Plus we get delicious treats out of all your hard work! You are an excellent teacher and give us enthusiasts glimmers of hope when our treats turn out well!

I made this yesterday for our New Year's dinner. And my family love it. I only used 1 cup of the powdered sugar and added a pinch of salt and i also used a dark chocolate for the topping.
