Peanut Butter Bars

These peanut butter bars are so good - just like Reese's Peanut Butter Cup bars! My whole family loved them for our FHE treat tonight. And yay that it's a yummy, easy, no-bake dessert! I got the recipe from Carrie's Cooking Corner. Thanks C. for the great recipe!!

Peanut Butter Bars

2 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
1 cup peanut butter
1 cup butter, melted
2 3/4 cups powdered sugar
2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips

In a medium bowl, or stand mixer, mix together graham cracker crumbs, powdered sugar, peanut butter and melted butter. Mix well. Press mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9x13 pan. Melt chocolate chips in microwave in 30 second intervals, stirring after each interval, until melted. Spread melted chips over peanut butter crust. Chill for 10 minutes. With a sharp knife cut bars into squares, but leave the squares in the pan. Refrigerate until completely set then remove squares from pan and store air-tight.
