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.)
This is one lunch box treat that is sure to be devoured by your little ones.
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 🙂

Reese’s Peanut Butter Granola Bars
Ingredients
- 1/3 cup packed light brown sugar
- 1/4 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1/4 cup honey
- 4 tbsp unsalted butter
- 2 cups quick oats
- 2/3 cup crispy rice cereal
- 3/4 cup Reese's peanut butter chips
- 1/2 cup Reese's Pieces
Instructions
- Combine brown sugar, peanut butter, honey and butter in a medium saucepan over medium-low heat, stirring frequently.
- Bring sugar mixture just to a boil and then continue cooking for an additional 2-3 minutes stirring constantly, or until sugar dissolves.
- Stir in oats and crispy rice cereal until evenly coated.
- Let mixture cool for 5 minutes.
- Line 8x8 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.
- Once mixture has cooled slightly, fold in peanut butter chips and press into the prepared dish.
- 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!
- Let bars cool for several hours. (Dish can be place into refrigerator to speed up process.)
- Cut into bars and serve!

AMAZING! I don’t have any Reeses in the house, but I’m going to try making them with plain chocolate chips for this first go-round. Then I’ll have to do it again when I have the right ingredients 🙂
Thank you for sharing on the Pin It Thursday linkup. My family will love this!

These look AMAZING! I am a sucker for anything with the word “Reese’s” in it, and when it is in a homemade bar–all the better! Thanks for sharing!
Amy@Little Dairy on the Prairie says
Trish these look amazing! I would even substitute a peanut butter sandwich for these in my kids lunches!
heather @french press says

Amy @ Amy's Healthy Baking says
Ohmygosh Trish, these are incredible!! So much PB in these bars… Seriously heaven to me. And the fact that you called them “granola bars” instead of candy means I can totally eat 3. Without any guilt. And then wash those down with a few more Reese’s pieces as dessert. 😉 Already pinned!
Rachel @{i love} my disorganized life says
Wow- who could resist these? All that protein in the peanut butter makes them the perfect breakfast for mornings when were in a rush!
Mir says
It’s so great that all of you love the PB! I alone have that obsession in my house. It gets hard when I have to eat all the PB treats by myself. 🙂
These look incredibly delicious. So much better than store-bought!
