Рецепт Chocolate-Covered Peanut Butter Bars
Oct
14th
Here is a delightfully simple candy recipe with that eternally delicious combination: Chocolate and Peanut Butter. With 5 ingredients and about 10 minutes, you can be on your way to a batch of homemade “Almost Reese’s” as my grandmother calls them (this is another recipe from her, by the way, thanks Grandma!). It’s perfect for the holiday parties or for gift-giving or for a Friday night at home. If you love chocolate and peanut butter, you’re going to adore these Chocolate-Covered Peanut Butter Bars.
The recipe calls for milk chocolate chips and those would most closely align with a traditional Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup. However, I have always preferred dark chocolate so I made my chocolate-covered peanut butter bars with semi-sweet chocolate chips. Delicious!
I have an informal poll going that men prefer milk chocolate and women prefer dark chocolate. Am I right? Please leave your chocolate preference in the comments below.
By the way, these bars have to chill for at least a few hours, preferably overnight. Make your next party less stressful by preparing these the day before!
