Peanut Butter Cup Bars

By lorik

Ingredients

• For the Crust:
• 9 whole chocolate graham crackers broken into 1 inch pieces
• 3 Tbsp brown sugar
• 5 Tbsp butter, melted
• For the Filling:
• 2/3 cup butter, melted
• 2 cups confectioners' sugar
• 1 cup smooth peanut butter
• For the topping:
• 1 1/4 cups semisweet chocolate chips

Preparation

Step 1

Process graham crackers and brown sugar in food processor until finely ground, about 30 seconds. Add melted butter and pulse until combined, about 8 pulses.

Press graham mixture into the bottom of a 8-9 inch baking dish. In a medium bowl, cream together the butter, confectioners' sugar and peanut butter until smooth. Spread over the graham crust, and chill until firm, about 15 minutes.

Melt chocolate chips in a bowl over simmering water or in the microwave oven, stirring frequently. Spread over the layer of chilled peanut butter mixture. Refrigerate until firm, then cut into squares. These keep well placed between sheets of waxed paper in an air-tight container in the fridge.
