No-Bake Chocolate Peanut Butter Bars
I got this recipe from a friend the other day, and it sounded so good I had to try it immediately. I brought a batch to work and got several compliments.
INGREDIENTS
1 cup butter or margarine, melted
2 cups graham cracker crumbs
2 cups powdered sugar
1 cup peanut butter, crunchy or smooth
1-1/2 cups semisweet chocolate chips
4 tablespoons peanut butter
DIRECTIONS
In a medium mixing bowl, stir together butter or margarine, graham cracker crumbs, powdered sugar and 1 cup peanut butter until well blended. Press into the bottom of an ungreased 9 x 13" baking pan.
In the top of a double boiler over hot (not boiling) water, melt the chocolate chips with the 4 tablespoons peanut butter, stirring occasionally until smooth. (I just used the microwave to heat the chips 30 seconds at a time, stirring in between and then adding the peanut butter.) Spread on top of the mixture in the baking pan.
Refrigerate for about 1 hour before cutting into bars. Or, if you're like me, for 30 minutes in the freezer.

With me, I doubt they would even make it INTO the freezer. LOL.
ReplyDeleteLol at Brenda! Yeah, they look pretty darn tasty! Might have to make them myself sometime...but only if I can take them somewhere and not eat a whole pan myself!

These do look really yummy. I'll bet the kids would like them. Someday when I get more ambitious in the kitchen, I'll surprise everyone with these!
ReplyDeleteMom, let me know how they turn out!
ReplyDeleteBrenda - Haha--I may have taken it out of the freezer a few times to check if it was set yet. :)
Dan - You can make a quarter batch, like I did the first time. It's not all that much. Or an 1/8 batch? :)
R - Yeah they're very easy. They seriously take like 10 minutes to prepare, and then they just sit in the freezer!
Ok, I just made these. They are cooling in the fridge as we speak. :)
ReplyDeleteAnother friend made these this weekend too! :) Let me know how you like them.
