FYI: The sugar can be reduced by at least 50% in the Reese's Bars

I used:

2 Cups graham crackers crumbs

1 Cup melted butter

1.5 C peanut butter

1.5 C powdered sugar

10 oz Ghiradelli milk chocolate

2 oz of Ghiradelli 60% chocolate

I made the peanut portion up and it looked rather soupy (batter on right side). I poured half into the Saran-lined pan and then added more powdered sugar to the remaining peanut mix to get it closer to the original recipe (batter on left-side. I could actually pat that batter into place, so it would be good for rolling into individual balls.)

Melted the chocolate and poured it over. Chilled for 45 minutes. Both sides of the pan cut perfectly. Since I added more graham crumbs to boost the density, the texture was a bit gritty, but overall I'm happy with it.

The Saran wrap worked perfectly to lift out the block-o-braincell killers. I reflipped it so the chocolate was facing up and cut with a 10" Wustoff chef knife. 1" squares are far too rich. I cut the rest into 1/2" x 1" rectangles and those were just enough sweetness.
