Peanut Butter Bars

I don't know where you all are located, but if you're anywhere near me (Missouri), you'll know just how stinkin' hot it is outside! Electric bills are rising just as fast as the thermometer! It's just crazy! Anyway, this heat makes it hard to cook food for your family because the heat makes your house so uncomfortable. Well I have a dessert (or for me, a snack haha) that you can make that has very little stove use!

Peanut Butter Bars:

1 cup butter or margarine, melted

2 cups graham cracker crumbs

2 cups confectioners sugar

1 cup peanut butter

1 1/2 cup semisweet chocolate chips

3 tablespoons peanut butter

1. In a medium bowl, mix together the butter, graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and 1 cup peanut butter until well blended. Press evenly into the bottom of an un-greased 9x13 inch pan.

2. Chill peanut butter base for 20-30 minutes.

3. In a metal bowl over simmering water or in the microwave, melt the chocolate chips with the 3 tablespoons of peanut butter, stirring occasionally until smooth. Spread over the chilled prepared crust. Refrigerate for at least one hour before cutting.
