peanut butter bars

I made these around Christmas for our trip down south to see our family. This morning during an especially rough morning at work I was remembering how lovely they are. Granted they are not the best for you, but I will sternly go back to my moderation comments though even if you say a word friends. There are steps that were taken in this recipe to make them slightly better for you.

Ingredients for the delicious treats you are about to eat

- 2 sticks of butter (Use the lightest healthiest butter you can find)

- 1 cup of crunchy peanut butter (Be sure to use a reduced fat/low sodium natural butter)

- 3 cups of sifted powdered sugar

- 1 2/3 cup of chocolate chips (Use dark chocolate chips)

- 1 1/2 cups of graham crackers crushed (Use reduced fat graham crackers)

Start off by processing your graham crackers.

Until they resemble fine meal like in the picture below.

Oh I almost forgot!! Get a 9x13 baking pan and line it with foil. Seal it all off and make sure you covered each and every spot of the pan, then set aside.

Then add your cup of peanut butter to the graham crackers and pulsate until it is combined. Then cut tablespoons of the softened butter into the graham crackers until it is combined.

Then melt your chocolate chips on the stove until its melted.

Then press your graham cracker mixture into the bottom of the pan.

Then spread the chocolate on top.

Refrigerate for an hour then enjoy. Then should be cut into 2x2 inch squares. One of those is the serving size. They are even better straight from the freezer. Enjoy a serving then share with friends...

Enjoy !!!
