The secret to making these (or any similar recipe) taste like Reese's is... Salt. Reese's peanut butter cups are loaded with it. You could add even more than what I use, in this recipe.
Ingredients:
Peanut butter layer:
1cup peanut butter
1tsp. salt
1/2tsp. vanilla
2cups confectioners sugar
water-(up to 1Tbl.)
Chocolate layer:
12oz. milk chocolate chips
1Tbl. peanut butter ( it gives the chocolate a fudge-like texture)
Preparation:
Stir together, the peanut butter, salt, and vanilla, in a bowl.
Add all the sugar, stirring in as much as possible, then knead in the rest.
At this point no two batches, I make, are the same. They are usually, a bit dry, so I add 1tsp.of water at a time, until it is about the texture of play-doh.(neither crumbly or sticky)
Press the mixture, evenly, into a small baking, or casserole dish, about 9x7 or 9x9. Set aside.
Add the ingredients for the chocolate layer, to a microwave safe bowl.
Heat 30-60 seconds, to melt the chocolate. Stir to combine.
Using a rubber spatula, spread the chocolate, evenly, over the peanut butter layer.
Refrigerate 30 minutes. Cut into fudge sized pieces, when the chocolate is firm.
