NO BAKE PEANUT BUTTER BARS
I found this recipe on pinterest, It is sooo easy and tastes just like reese's peanut butter cups!! Give them a try and let me know what you think!!
Ingredients:
1 cup melted butter
2 cups graham cracker crumbs ( used a food processor to grind mine into tiny granules. I think you can buy them all ready ground as well. Or place them in a ziplock bag and use a rolling pin to roll them into tiny granules)
2 cups confectioners' sugar( powdered sugar)
1 cup + 4 tablespoons peanut butter
1 1/2 cups milk chocolate chips
Directions
In a medium bowl, mix together the melted butter, graham cracker crumbs, confectioners' sugar, and 1 cup peanut butter until well blended. Press evenly into the bottom of an ungreased 9X13 inch pan for thin bars or 9X9 square pan for thick bars. In the microwave, melt the chocolate chips with the remaining peanut butter, stirring every 30 seconds until melted and smooth. Spread over the peanut butter layer. Refrigerate for at least one hour before cutting into squares. ENJOY!!
* Once the chocolate has set up in the fridge, it becomes very hard. I found it easiest to cut into squares if I let the bars come to room temp. I made mine in a 9X9 pan and was able to cut around 50 small squares. Perfect size for snacking.
