Peanut Butter Bars

From the Kitchen of: Melissa Beardsley

Ingredients:

1 cup butter or margarine, melted

2 cups graham cracker crumbs

2 cups confectioner’s sugar

1 cup peanut butter

1 ½ cups chocolate chips

4 tablespoons peanut butter

Directions:

1.     In a medium bowl, mix together the butter/margarine, graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and 1 cup of peanut butter until blended.  Press evenly into the bottom of an ungreased 9x13 inch pan.

2.    In a metal bowl over simmering water (or you can use the microwave), melt the chocolate chips with 4 tablespoons peanut butter stirring occasionally until smooth.  Spread over peanut butter mixture.  Refrigerate for at least one hour.

**If stored at room temperature the consistency will be very gooey and messy (I like it that way), If you like firmer peanut butter bars, store them in the refrigerator.
