If you consider yourself a true peanut butter lover—and especially if you think Reese’s is the greatest candy ever invented—then these Triple Reese’s Peanut Butter Bars might just become your new favorite dessert. Soft, rich, intensely peanut-buttery, loaded with candy, and topped with a silky chocolate-peanut butter layer, this dessert is pure heaven in every single bite.

These bars are inspired by classic no-bake peanut butter squares but taken to the next level with three delicious Reese’s components:

1. Mini Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups
2. Reese’s Pieces candy
3. Peanut Butter Chips mixed into the filling

Combined, they create the richest, most indulgent Reese’s dessert imaginable—soft, chewy, chocolatey, crunchy, sweet, and satisfying.

Best of all? No baking required.
Just mix, press, chill, slice, and eat.

What Makes These Bars “Triple Reese’s”?

These bars aren’t just peanut butter flavored—they’re packed with three Reese’s elements throughout the entire dessert:

1. Reese’s Mini Peanut Butter Cups

These melt slightly into the filling, giving pops of creamy peanut butter and chocolate.

2. Reese’s Pieces

They add crunch, color, candy-coated texture, and the iconic peanut-butter flavor.

3. Peanut Butter Chips

Mixed right into the base so every bite has a creamy, melty peanut-butter punch.

Top all that with a thick chocolate-peanut butter layer, and you have a bar that tastes like biting into the best parts of all Reese’s candy at once.

Tips for the Best Reese’s Peanut Butter Bars

1. Use Creamy Peanut Butter—Not Natural

Natural peanut butter separates and won’t hold the bars together properly.

2. Press Firmly

Compact the base so the bars slice neatly and don’t crumble.

3. Chill Before Cutting

Cold bars slice cleanly and hold their shape better.

4. Use a Hot Knife

Run a knife under hot water, dry it, and slice for perfect edges.

5. Switch Up the Topping

Swap chocolate chips for milk chocolate, dark chocolate, or even white chocolate.

Fun Variations

Peanut Butter Cup Cheesecake Bars
