Ingredients

1 cup (2 sticks) butter or margarine, softened
1 cup crunchy peanut butter
3 cups confectioners' sugar, sifted
1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
1 1/2 cups semisweet chocolate chips

Directions

Line a 13 by 9 by 2-inch pan with foil.

Combine the butter, peanut butter, sugar, and graham cracker crumbs in a food processor. Process until the mixture forms a ball. Press into the foil-lined pan using your hands or a spatula.

Melt the chocolate chips in a double boiler over simmering water or in a microwave-safe glass dish in the microwave for 1 minute on high (100%). Stir. If the chocolate has not completely melted, microwave for 10 seconds more, then stir. Spread evenly over the cookie layer with a spatula. Chill for several hours.

When ready to serve, allow the candy to come to room temperature before cutting into pieces. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator.

Too Easy To Be So Good!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

Aren't these the yummiest, easiest to make little things you've ever tasted? If you haven't tasted them, you should and soon!... I had to use two cups of chocolate chips because it was hard to spread that thick chocolate on top without tearing the cookie layer, and make it cover the entire pan. But it was still easy, peasy, not to mention delicious!Read more

Great for fund raising
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I made this candy for a fundraiser for the company I worked for and sold a 2x2 inch for fifty cents. When the director ate... one, he raised the price up to a dollar. This is wonderful and super easy to make. Read more

Really Awesome!!!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I really love this because it tastes so much like my favorite candy. But I have made some different variations of the... recipe. My husband doesn't like chocolate much so I doubled the recipe & just made peanut butter squares. Also sometimes instead of the squares I use 2 bags of chocolate chips, and roll the peanut butter in balls. Then I roll it around in the chocolate & let harden. For an extra crunch before the chocolate sets sprinkle chopped nuts on top. My kids like doing this because it's a really fun way to get them involved with cooking something.Read more
