This looks like something I should consider having as a regular staple in my home...and I really can't believe how seriously easy it is to make! I'm wondering though, do you think it would turn out the same if I used coconut oil instead of the melted butter to make a slightly healthier version. Has anyone tried using animal crackers or vanilla wafers I'm thinking it would make a big difference in flavor and texture compared to the graham crackers..but I'm sure equally as tasty.

I've had these before, or at least something very close when I was in college and absolutely loved them. They're really easy to make and I remember downing several decent-sized bars in one sitting, I haven't introduced my grandchildren to these yet, and I'll fix that oversight when they come visit again. I know they'll love them as much as I do.

This has to be one of the easiest recipes I have ever seen. I love anything peanut butter and chocolate. I think my family would go bonkers over these because they love the combination too. I agree with MsDeb21 that these look like a huge pan of Reese's. Great post! Thanks so much.

These look like a big pan of Reese's peanut butter cups. I can't believe how easy they are to make. The only problem will be keeping my son from eating all of them! What do you do when you need cookie crumbs? I don't have a food processor.

I use a very similar recipe to make homemade peanut butter cups in a mini muffin tin. I swap the powdered sugar with Splenda and always use graham crackers. layer a bit of the peanut butter mixture on the bottom, top with the chocolate mixture and refrigerate to set! YUM!
