Now, as I am sure most of you are well aware, Reese’s candies are a preferred treat in our home. Thank goodness that amazing peanut butter flavor comes in so many sweet little packages because we like to use each and every one. Some of our favorites include stuffing Reese’s miniatures into mini cheesecakes, making our favorite Reese’s fudge, or taking s’mores to the next level with these Reese’s Peanut Butter S’mores Oatmeal Cookie Bars (good heavens these are AMAZING!)

Well, a new favorite has landed in the Rosenquist household – Reese’s Peanut Butter Granola Bars. And guess what? They’re no-bake. Totally got your back on this one.

These granola bars are packed with a triple dose of peanut flavor – peanut butter, Reese’s peanut butter chips and topped with Reese’s Pieces. (Yes indeed. Go grab yourself an ice cold glass of milk. You’re going to need it.)

My kids have a hard time saying no to Reese’s in general, but these granola bars make it truly impossible. I think the line between candy bar and granola bar is getting a little blurred here but that’s half the fun 🙂

Ingredients

• ⅓ cup packed light brown sugar
• ¼ cup creamy peanut butter
• ¼ cup honey
• 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 2 cups quick oats
• ⅔ cup crispy rice cereal
• ¾ cup Reese’s peanut butter chips
• ½ cup Reese’s Pieces

Instructions

• Combine brown sugar, peanut butter, honey and butter in a medium saucepan over medium-low heat, stirring frequently.

• Stir in oats and crispy rice cereal until evenly coated.
• Let mixture cool for 5 minutes.
• Line 8×8 inch baking dish with parchment paper or foil, making sure the paper hangs over on either side so you can pull out the granola bars and cut them up with ease.

• Sprinkle top with Reese’s Pieces and additional peanut butter chips if desired.
• Use the bottom of a bowl or cup to press firmly into the bars. You don’t want the candy to fall out when cutting!
