Squares that I made for a Christmas party a couple of years ago. It's a simple, no bake recipe that is perfect if you feel like indulging. And you definitely have to want to indulge if you make these... they are SUPER rich.
Here's what you need:
1 cup of butter
1 cup of peanut butter (I've found that Peter Pan is by far the best peanut butter to use with cooking/baking)
3 cups of confectioner's sugar
1 and half cups of graham cracker crumbs
1 bag of milk chocolate morsels
First melt the butter in a large pot:
After the butter has melted, add the peanut butter and melt that with the butter:
Once the butter and peanut butter are in liquid form and melted, remove from heat and add the confectioner's sugar and graham cracker crumbs. Continue mixing (with a spoon is fine) until the mixture is no longer dry. The mixture will be obviously not be smooth because of the crumbs.
When cool enough (which is pretty quickly) pack the mixture into a 9x11 baking dish or raised cookie sheet.
Next, melt the chocolate and pour/spread evenly over the peanut butter mixture.
The "recipe" I used said that you should chill the bars in the refrigerator for an hour before serving. I, however, have found that if you let them sit out (NOT in the refrigerator) they are much better. When I put them in the refrigerator, they are hard to cut, crumbly and the chocolate comes off. My advice is to just let them sit out for a while before serving... maybe cover them with foil, though.
Last step is to cut and enjoy! YUM!
