So, today I tried Reese's Peanut Butter Bars.  The recipe says they are supposed to taste just like eating a Reese's Peanut Butter Cup.  I think that's going a bit too far.  I went to make them and I was out of Smooth Peanut Butter!  That almost never happens.  So, I used crunchy peanut butter since that was all I had in the house.  That in itself was totally different (although I've been told there are Reese's Crunchy Peanut Butter Cups out there.  My first couple of bites I thought were kind of grainy.  Not exactly the right consistency. All in all, pretty good flavor. My husband stated he thought it needed a different type of chocolate, like maybe a Heryshey's candy bar.    My 10 year old loved them....she came back for seconds.  I LOVE chocolate and I LOVE peanut butter but I'm not entirely sure I'd go back for seconds.  Here's the recipe...   Go ahead and try it.  Let me know what you think!

Directions
In a medium bowl, mix together the melted butter, graham cracker crumbs, confectioners’ sugar, and 1 cup peanut butter until well blended. Press evenly into the bottom of an ungreased 9×13 inch pan. In a metal bowl over simmering water, or in the microwave, melt the chocolate chips with the peanut butter, stirring occasionally until smooth. Spread over the peanut butter layer. Refrigerate for at least one hour before cutting into squares.
