From The TESR Test Kitchen

Betty Crocker, you lied.  You lied.

The corporation that hides behind the well known name has been pimping a product called Reeese's Dessert Bar Mix -- a "NO BAKE Recipe" and the box even has a "Convenient Pan Inside!"

But what the box promises and what the mix delivers are two different things.

1 reeses

The box promises the equivalent of a cake pan with a really large Reese's Peanut Butter Cup.  That's not what it delivers.

The first step goes easy enough -- making the crust.

The second step, the peanut butter layer, goes easy too.

It's the third layer where the problem comes along.  The first two layers come in big packets that you mix with water and butter.  The third layer is a small tube.  It's the chocolate topping.  The box explains it will go over the whole dish.

Lie!

There's not enough to cover even half the pan.

And without the chocolate, you're just eating a peanut butter dessert.

This is a fail, an epic fail.  We consider this to be the worst item we have ever tested in our test kitchen.
