Crunchy Chocolate-Peanut Stix

By Pagingdrstarling

I found the recipe in the February issue of Family Circle magazine and its simplicity intrigued me. These are kid cookies that will never make it to a tea tray, but they are perfect for a cookie jar and you'll find that small hands can finish a batch with great dispatch. It's a simple confection that tastes a bit like a Twix bar

Ingredients

• 75 rectangular buttery crackers (i.e. Keebler Club)
• 1/2 cup butter
• 1/2 cup milk
• 1-1/4 cups light brown sugar
• 1/4 cup granulated sugar
• 2 cups finely crushed honey graham crackers
• 1-1/4 cups milk chocolate chips

Preparation

Step 1

1) Line 13x9x2-inch baking pan with foil, leaving extra on ends for handles. Line bottom of pan with 25-27 butter crackers and set aside.

2) In medium saucepan, melt butter and add in milk, brown sugar and white sugar. Bring to a simmer. Gradually stir in 2 cups of graham cracker crumbs. Simmer, stirring frequently for 5 minutes.

3) Pour 1 cup of butter/crumb mixture over cracker layer in pan. Top with another layer of crackers and spread remaining butter/crumb mixture over it. Cover with another layer of crackers.

4) In microwavable bowl, combine milk chocolate and peanut butter chips. Cook on high for 1 minute and stir. Continue to cook in 30 second intervals until chips can be stirred smooth. Pour over top of final cracker layer and spread evenly.

Refrigerate for at least 1 hour. Carefully lift out of pan and place on cutting board, removing foil. Cut into 1 x 4 inch bars with a serrated knife. Yield:6 dozen bars.
