Peanut Butter Bars
This is a quick and easy no-bake bar, perfect for when you need a treat in a hurry.
Ingredients:
1/3 box graham crackers, crushed (about 1 1/2 C)
1/2 tsp Cinnamon (we used China)
1 C butter (2 sticks)
2 tsp Pure Vanilla Extract
1 1/2 C peanut butter, creamy or crunchy
3 1/2 C powdered sugar
1 12-oz bag chocolate chips
Instructions:
1. Crush the graham crackers into fine crumbs. One third of a box is usually one cellophane-wrapped package. Mix in the Cinnamon and set aside.
2. Melt the butter in a large saucepan. Remove from heat and add the Vanilla and peanut butter and mix well. Add the powdered sugar and graham crackers. Stir until well combined; it will be a stiff dough.
3. Pat the mixture into an ungreased 9x13 pan. Melt the chocolate chips on very low heat in a really heavy saucepan, or spread evenly in a glass pie plate and microwave 30 seconds at a time, stirring after each 30 seconds, until melted. Spread the melted chocolate over the peanut butter layer. Refrigerate for 1 hour before cutting.
