Chocolate Peanut Butter Bars

These taste like those wonderful peanut butter cups we all love, and these only have five ingredients. They're so simple to make, you'll have them in the fridge all the time so you can have your favorite candy whenever you want.


Ingredients:

1 cup (2 sticks) butter, softened at room temperature
1 cup peanut butter
3 cups confectioners' sugar
1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
1 1/2 cups semisweet chocolate chips

1. Line a 13x9-inch pan with aluminum foil. Set aside.

2. In a food processor, combine the butter, peanut butter, sugar and graham cracker crumbs. Process until the mixture forms into a ball. Press mixture into the pan into an even layer.

3. Melt the chocolate chips in a heat-proof bowl in the microwave for 1 minute. Stir after the first minute and if chips are not melted, microwave for an additional 15 seconds then stir again.

4. Spread chocolate evenly over the peanut butter mixture. Chill in the refrigerator for 2-3 hours or until chocolate is completely hardened.

5. Before serving, remove from the refrigerator to come slightly to room temperature. Then cut into square pieces and serve. Keep stored in the refrigerator in an airtight container.
Enjoy!
