These 5 Ingredient No Bake Reese’s Squares are really fantastic. Easy to make and even easier to eat.

They are extremely rich and not for people with a fear of chocolate and peanut butter (if those people actually exist)!!! Very easy no bake 5 ingredient recipe!

Amazingly delicious! Super-easy to put together. They taste exactly like Reese’s when you eat them at room temperature.

If you eat them right out of the fridge, the texture isn’t quite right. (Well, unless you usually refrigerate your Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups, I guess.)

These would be a great addition to Holiday plates for family and friends.

5 Ingredient No Bake Reese's Squares

Ingredients

• 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs

• 1 1/2 cups peanut butter

• 1 12 ounce bag milk chocolate chips

Instructions

1. Combine graham crumbs, sugar and peanut butter and mix well. Blend in the melted butter until well combined. Press the mixture evenly into a 9 x 13 inch pan.

I’ve made a lot of brownies in my day and this fudgey brownie recipe makes the Perfect Chocolate Brownies. It’s head and shoulders above all the rest.

There are two types of brownies. There’s cakey brownies, which I’ll admit I’ve never been a big fan of, and then there’s fudgy brownies. More up my alley.

This is the best brownie recipe I’ve ever used.

Ooey, gooey, rich, and chewy! Just like a brownie should be! Wonderful and a definite, “make again” recipe…A real keeper!

On top of all the goodness they’re easy to make and almost “shout” homemade with love.

So easy to make and SO yummy!!! What more can you expect from a brownie recipe.

Give this recipe a try and I think you’ll agree it makes the perfect chocolate brownies.

This Jammed Up Cream Cheese Coffee Cake is truly exceptional! I’ve made it a few times now and I can tell it’s going to become a classic in my kitchen. It’s one of my favorite coffeecakes.

So pretty and the taste is to die for.

You would think something so pretty and so good tasting would be difficult to make. But surprise! This coffeecake is fall down easy.

Something else that’s amazing is the versatility. You can use any flavor jam you like and you have a different coffee cake. Even pie filling works. I’ve tried cherry pie filling and it’s out of this world good!

Vary the nuts. Use walnuts or almonds for the pecans. Make it lite by using low fat ingredients. So versatile!

Give it a try and I think it will become a classic in your kitchen too!

Especially this recipe. It doesn’t even require baking. How easy is that?

It still has all the good cheesecake qualities of a baked cheesecake but without much work.

This Cheesecake Factory Copycat Key Lime Cheesecake is very creamy and really close to the original.

The crust is one of the best tasting graham cracker crusts I have ever made and it did not get soggy at all.

The consistency and texture are truly outstanding. I’m not a fan of the thicker, “dryer” texture of a New York-style cheesecake and this is not like that at all, it is so smooth and creamy and silky!

I really had raves from everyone who tasted it. If you like Key Lime Pie, you will absolutely love this cheesecake.
