Grandmas Peanut Butter Recipes

GRANDMA'S PEANUT BUTTER BARS (+VIDEO)

Steps:

• Grease a 9x13 baking dish with butter, set aside.
• Place the rest of the butter (that you used to grease the pan with) along with the other stick of butter and place them into a large microwave-safe bowl. Microwave for 30 seconds. Continue to microwave in 15-second intervals until melted.
• Into the bowl with the melted butter add the powdered sugar, graham cracker crumbs, and peanut butter.
• Stir until combined well.
• Immediately spread peanut butter mixture into the greased baking dish and smooth it out. Place it in the freezer for 30 minutes to set.
• While the peanut butter layer sets in the freezer, place the chocolate chips into a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in 15-second intervals, stirring each time until the chocolate is melted and smooth, do not overcook.
• Spread the melted chocolate on top of the peanut butter mixture.
• Place it back into the freezer until the chocolate is just set but not frozen, about 10-15 minutes. If they're totally frozen, it's too hard to cut into bars.
• Cut immediately into squares and serve.
