Peanut Butter Bars That Make You Go NUTS! :)

Hi!

I hope all of your summers have been going well, although I know that many people have gone back to school by now. No matter what occupation or education you are in, a sweet can always brighten anyone's day! Recently, I had the need to bake something, but didn't want to actually "bake" something. Does that make any sense? I settled on a super-easy "no-bake" dessert. For those who have tried and enjoy peanut butter, this one is for you! All I can say is sooo yum, with no thought required. We can all use one of those once in a while!

This is another go-to recipe that is sure to be a non-disappointment! My mom has been making it for years thanks to her friend Carrie.

PEANUT BUTTER CHOCOLATE BARS 
Ingredients:
11/2 Sticks Butter, melted
1 Cup Peanut Butter
2 1/2 Cups Powdered Sugar
2 Cu[s Graham Cracker Crumbs
1 Pkg. Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chip Morsels

Directions:
1. Blend butter, powdered sugar, crumbs, peanut butter in a large bowl. Mix well.
2. Press into a 13x9 pan. DO NOT GREASE THE PAN! (It will make the bars soft and mushy. Not a pretty sight!)
3. Refrigerate for one hour.
4. Melt the chocolate chip morsels over a double boiler or in the microwave at a low power (maybe 4 or 5 at 30 second intervals.)
5. Pour the melted morsels over the pan of bars, spreading it so it is completely covered.
6. Refrigerate for another 15 minutes.
7. Cool and cut at room temp or freeze then bring to room temp and cut.

First, Powdered Sugar!
