Peanut Butter Bars

Eating these Peanut Butter Bars is like eating Reese's Peanut Butter Cups! They are SO good... in fact I like them more than Reese's Peanut Butter Cups! This is a recipe my husband got while he was serving a mission for our church.

Ingredients:

3/4 Cup of Butter
1 3/4 Cups Graham Cracker Crumbs (I just use one of the individualized packages that come in the big box you can get)
1 1/2 Cups Peanut Butter
2 Cups Powdered Sugar
2 Cups of Chocolate Chips (or you can use whatever your favorite chocolate is, chocolate chips is just what I usually have around the house!)

Directions:

Melt Butter. Mix in graham cracker crumbs, add peanut butter and powdered sugar. Mix really well. I use a cookie sheet that is about 10x14" and I line it with aluminum foil, you can also use a 9x13 pan the peanut butter portion will be a bit thicker. Put graham cracker mix in pan and spread out to make an even layer.
Melt chocolate. Usually with chocolate chips you can do one cup of chocolate chips in the microwave on high for one minute, then stir until it is smooth, then pour a nice even layer onto the graham cracker layer. 
Cool in the refrigerator for about 20 minutes. You can then cut it into squares.
Or if you're feeling a bit fancy you can use a cookie cutter and cut out cute little shapes to share!
