Peanut Butter Bars

My favorite flavor combination is peanut butter and chocolate and my favorite candy bar is Reese's PB cups. When I was going through my favorite blogs and saw this recipe it caught my attention with the line that it tasted just like a Reese's PB Cup. I knew that I would be making these in my immediate future. These are sooo good, but unfortunately I will probably not make them again because I couldn't stop eating them!

Ingredients:
1.5 c graham cracker crumbs (very finely crushed)
2 c powdered sugar
8 tbsp butter, melted (1 stick)
1 c creamy peanut butter ( don't use chunky because it would be very hard to incorporate it)
1.5 c chocolate chips ( I used semi-sweet)

Directions:
MIx the crumbs and sugar until completely combined
Add the melted butter and peanut butter to the mixture above
Mix well and press into a 9x13" pan.
Melt the chocolate chips in the microwave
Spread the chocolate over the peanut butter mixture
Refrigerate until hard ( I did overnight)
Let sit at room temp 15 minutes before cutting
Note: It is very helpful to score the bars with your knife before cutting to prevent breakage.
