Tuesdays at the Table - Reese's Peanut Butter Bars

Happy Tuesday! I hope you're all having a great week and that you'll share one a recipe that you really enjoy - or one you just found and are trying for the first time.  :-)



This week I'm sharing one of my favorite recipes.  It's been a family favorite for YEARS and I could probably make it in my sleep.  In fact, we had a family gathering on Saturday and I made these yummy little bars, hoping that there would be a few leftover so I could hide them and indulge in a midnight snack.  No such luck!  My mom's cousin met me at the front door of her house, asked what I made and then started sampling before they even made it to the kitchen.  I think my "dessert" turned into a "pre-meal snack" for everyone.  I'd like to say it's because I'm that good of a cook...but I know it's because no one in their right mind can say no to these bars!




Reese Peanut Butter Bars

2 sticks butter
1 cup peanut butter (I don't the recommend low-fat version)
1 3/4 cup graham cracker crumbs
2 1/2 cups powdered sugar
12 oz. (1 bag) semi-sweet chocolate chips

In a large microwave safe bowl, melt the margarine. Stir in peanut butter, powdered sugar and graham cracker crumbs. {Note: This works best if the powdered sugar isn't mixed in last.} Pour out and flatten into a greased 9x13 pan. Refrigerate for about an hour.

Melt chocolate chips in a microwave safe bowl. Pour out chocolate over the cooled peanut butter bars, covering evenly.

Refrigerate for about an hour and cut into bars.

What's cooking in your kitchen this week?
