Two Great Tastes that Taste Great Together - Peanut Butter Chocolate Bars

I had an uncontrollable urge to make something sweet the other night. But, it being hot out, didn't want to turn on the oven. So I made chocolate peanut butter bars! No-bake loveliness! Here they are! Enjoy!

No-Bake Chocolate Peanut Butter Bars

Chocolate Peanut Butter Bars

Ingredients
1 cup butter or margarine, melted

2 cups graham cracker crumbs

2 cups confectioners' sugar

1 cup peanut butter

1 1/2 cups semisweet chocolate chips

4 tablespoons peanut butter

Directions

1. In a medium bowl, mix together the butter or margarine, graham cracker crumbs, confectioners' sugar, and 1 cup peanut butter until well blended. Press evenly into the bottom of an ungreased 9x13 inch pan. Refrigerate for 1 hour.

2. Melt the chocolate chips with the peanut butter in the microwave on half power, stirring occasionally until smooth. Spread over the prepared crust. Refrigerate for at least one hour before cutting into squares.               

(You might want to let them warm up a bit, to room temperature, before eating).
