PEANUT BUTTER SQUARES

No turning on the oven to make these tasty treats. Quick and easy. They remind me of a creamy peanut butter cup. Hope you enjoy.




Peanut Butter Squares

The Colorado Cookbook
Copyright 1981

I cup crunchy peanut butter
1 cup butter
2 cups powdered sugar
2 cups finely ground graham cracker crumbs

1 tablespoon creamy peanut butter
1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips  (I used mini-chips)



In a medium size saucepan combine the crunchy peanut butter and butter and melt over medium heat.
Add the sugar and the graham cracker crumbs and mix thoroughly.
Lightly spray a 9x13 inch pan with cooking spray and press this mixture into the bottom of the pan. Refrigerate while making the icing.
In a small saucepan, melt the creamy peanut butter and the chocolate chips and stir until melted.
Spread this warm mixture over the peanut butter mixture. Return to the refrigerator until set. Cut in squares and enjoy.
