No-Bake Peanut Butter Squares

Ingredients:

1 3/4 cups powdered sugar
1 1/2 cup margarine, softened
1 cup peanut butter (creamy or chunky)
1 tsp. vanilla
3 cups graham cracker crumbs (approximately 40 squares)
1 cup chopped peanuts (optional)
1 12-oz. package semisweet chocolate chips (2 cups)
1/4 cup peanut butter

Method:

Line a 9x9x2 inch pan with aluminum foil. (Leave about 1 inch hanging over
the opposite sides so you can lift the bars easily from the pan.)
In a large bowl, mix the powdered sugar, margarine, 1 cup peanut butter,
and vanilla. Stir in the cracker crumbs and peanuts. (The mixture will be
stiff.) Press mixture into the pan. Over low heat stir together the chocolate chips and 1/4 cup peanut butter until smooth. Spread over the mixture in the pan. Cover and refrigerate about an hour or until the chocolate is set. Remove from the pan and cut the bars into 36 squares. Refrigerate uncovered about 2 hours or until firm.

Helpful Hints:

This delicious bar recipe is easy to make and only takes about 30 minutes
to prepare. But plan ahead since you need to chill it for a couple hours.
Cover and refrigerate any leftovers after serving.
