Notes

  • Instead of using classic Oreo cookies for the crust, mix it up and try peanut butter or chocolate-filled Oreos.
  • If you can’t find mini Reese’s peanut butter cups, use 1 cup of chopped Reese’s cups (any kind).
  • To easily remove the cookie bars, line the baking pan with parchment paper and leave a little extra to slightly hang over the edges. When the bars are cool, pull up on the parchment paper edges to remove the bars from the pan, place onto a cutting board, slice, and serve.
  • Place the pan in the refrigerator prior to cutting to quickly cool the bars. Be careful if using a glass pan - hot glass in the refrigerator can shatter.
Storage: Store Reese's magic bars in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days or in the freezer for up to 3 months.
