These Peanut Butter Magic Bars are straight out of heaven. If you love peanut butter, you will love this amazing dessert! Peanut Butter Magic Bars in a ceramic dish, topped with mini peanut butter cups and drizzled peanut butter.

Where are my peanut butter treat lovers at? I have something SPECIAL for you today! Lately I have been on a peanut butter dessert kick. It used to be that I just needed chocolate. Now I need PB with my chocolate. Anyway, let me tell you how this recipe came to be.

Peanut Butter Magic Bars

I love magic cookie bars and want to make them all the time, but my husband does not like coconut. (Ugh, so unfortunate for him.) I decided to make half the batch the regular way and half without coconut but I realized that just the chocolate chips on top were going to make it look … weird. So I grabbed a bag of Reeses minis that I had in my baking cupboard and threw a bunch of them on. The result was fantastic.

The next week, I thought I had better try again to perfect the peanut butter magic bars because, well, I wanted them to exist. Then I made them two more times the next two weeks. I want you to know that I lovingly gained about 5 lbs developing this recipe. I hope you love it as much as I do!

What Peanut Butter Dreams are made of

What you are seeing here is graham cracker crust, covered with melted peanut butter. Then it’s layered with mini chocolate chips, sweetened condensed milk, and Reeses minis. A little more peanut butter drizzled on top, for good measure. Have I used the word heavenly yet? They are heavenly.

These peanut butter magic bars are to die for! Like magic cookie bars but with Reeses minis + melted peanut butter!

Peanut Butter Magic Bars

Peanut Butter Magic Bars are a delicious twist on the classic Magic Cookie bar. They are easy and delicious - a peanut butter lovers dream!

    Don’t make this, there is too much butter, if I would have had more graham crackers I would have added it I also think it needs more peanut butter

    I think the recipe is miss printed. I think it should be 1 1/2 stick melted butter and 2 cup crushed graham crackers. Way too much butter as written!! Ended up being one big gooey mess ?and a waste of expensive ingredients.

      Hey Tom! I’m so sorry it didn’t work very well for you. There are so many factors that can go wrong when baking. I’m pretty sure it is correct, there is a lot of butter in these, but I will try this recipe again myself and see if it’s better with less butter.
