No Bake Peanut Butter Bars

Here is an easy to make dessert that won't heat up your kitchen in the summertime. I made a batch of these today since I had everything on hand. For the graham cracker crumbs, I used the Great Value brand of graham crackers and simply made crumbs out of them using my food processor, which is less expensive than buying graham cracker crumbs. 

Here is the recipe:

No Bake Peanut Butter Bars

Ingredients
1 cup butter melted
2 cups graham cracker crumbs

2 cups powdered sugar 

 1 cup plus 4 tablespoons peanut butter
1 1/2 cups milk chocolate chips

Directions
In a medium bowl, mix together the melted butter, graham cracker crumbs, confectioners’ sugar, and 1 cup peanut butter until well blended. 

Press evenly into the bottom of an 9×13 inch pan. 

In the microwave, melt the chocolate chips with the 4 tablespoons of peanut butter. 

Spread over the peanut butter/graham cracker mixture. 

Refrigerate for at least one hour before cutting into squares.

Here is what the finished product looks like:

These are a big hit with my family. I hope you enjoy them as well! :)
