This recipe was given to me by a neighbour about 20 years ago. Living in a house with four children you can bet peanut butter was a favourite so these were a natural hit! One son used to request these bars for his “birthday” cake! On your birthday, anything goes, so instead of making bars? I pressed the peanut butter mixture into a springform pan, topped with chocolate, let it set then wrote, “Happy Birthday Ryan!” on top!<\/p>\n

Now I will be the first to tell you, health bars, these are not! I have recently started doing them as individual cups in order to help with portion control. However, I will not be held responsible for how many<\/em> of these you eat! And may I suggest a nice cold glass of milk? Normally I am all about the coffee but these bars\/cups need something to tone down the sweetness.<\/p>\n

\"Reeses<\/a>

\n1 cup Butter
