Foodie Goodie | Peanut Butter Chocolate Bars.

What cookies are for Cookie Monster, that's what peanut butter is to me. I'm a self-confessed peanut butter addict, and anything that has peanut butter in it, I will gladly devour. All the more if it's combined with chocolate. Hello, Reese's Peanut Butter Cups!

I did some experimenting with peanut butter the other day, following a recipe that I found on Spoonful. They're called Peanut Butter Chocolate Bars, sort of a spin off from my all-time favorite Reese's PBC. These tasty treats take less than an hour to make, and best of all, you don't even need an oven for it!
Peanut Butter is love!
Ingredients:

6 Tablespoons butter
3/4 cup peanut butter
1 cup graham cracker crumbs
1 cup powdered sugar
1 cup chocolate chips

Procedure:

1. In a bowl, mix the butter and peanut butter. Melt them together and blend until smooth.

2. Add in the powdered sugar and graham cracker crumbs. Mix well. 

3. In an 8x8 baking pan lined with waxed/parchment paper, pour in the mixture. Spread across the pan and press evenly.

3. Melt chocolate chips until smooth and pour over peanut butter mixture. Smooth over the top and refrigerate for thirty minutes until firm.

4. Let stand at room temperature for 10 minutes before cutting into bars.

Serve these as an after-school snack for the kids, or as a dessert for the dinner party. You can give them as food gifts during this holiday season, too!

  3. That's exactly how I feel about chocolate. It is hard to resist. I have been trying to drop 20 pounds, so this year I have not made one single cookie/candy (my girls are 16 & 22 now, so they don't care so much about baking cookies at Christmas anymore). It's been tempting with all the delicious looking recipes I have come across, but so far so good :)
