Peanut Butter Candy Bars

So, who remembers those amazing little peanut butter candy bars they served in the school cafeteria? They were the best part of school lunch, when they had them! They are soft, sweet and peanut buttery...at my school they were just dusted with a bit of powdered sugar. I have fancied them up a little and topped them with a layer of semi-sweet chocolate. Delicious! 


Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup (1 stick) butter
- 2 cups confectioners sugar
- 2 cups finely crushed graham crackers
- 1 cup peanut butter
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips


Melt stick of butter in microwave about 45 seconds. Add crushed graham crackers and confectioners sugar, stir together. Add peanut butter and heat another 15 or seconds. 


Stir together until well combined and it's smooth and creamy.


 Line a 13x9 inch pan with foil, with ends of foil extending over sides of pan. Spray with non stick cooking spray and pour your peanut butter mixture, spread evenly.


Melt chocolate chips in microwave and spread a thin layer evenly on top of the peanut butter mixture.


Refrigerate at least 1 hour or until firm. Using the foil handles, remove from pan and cut into squares.
YUM!

*You can store this at room temperature, but I like them better stored in refrigerator.
