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?
