A Recipe for Homemade "Reeses" Candy

This recipe for an old favorite has been around for years. It is easy to prepare and delicious. Kids love it! As a matter of fact, I got this recipe from a friend in Santa Cruz when we were working in the kitchen together for Vacation Bible School. Our boys were about 10 years old, mine is now 40 and still loves this candy. You will be surprised at how much this candy tastes like the original peanut butter cups. Blessings...

Recipe:

2 sticks butter, melted
2 cups graham cracker crumbs
1 lb. powdered sugar
1-1/2 cups peanut butter
1 12-oz. bag semi-sweet chocolate chips

1. Mix butter, cracker crumbs and powdered sugar. ( I use my Cuisinart )
2. Add peanut butter and mix until well-combined.
3. Press mixture into a 9" x 13" pan.
4. Melt chocolate chips and spread over candy.
5. Refrigerate candy for about 30 minutes to set chocolate. Cut into small pieces and return to refrigerator for another hour or until chocolate is firm.
6. Remove candy from pan and store in a tightly sealed container. Store at room temperature.
