Reese's Peanut Butter Bars

Here's what you need:
1 cup butter, unsalted and melted
2 cups graham cracker crumbs
2 cups powdered sugar
1-1/4 cup peanut butter, divided
1-1/2 cups milk chocolate chips

In a medium bowl combine the graham cracker crumbs, powdered sugar, 1 cup of the peanut butter and the melted butter.
Mix with a hand mixer until combined. The mixture will look bumpy
Spread evenly in the bottom of an ungreased 9 x 13 dish.

In a bowl over simmering water (water should never touch the bowl) melt the remaining 1/4 cup peanut butter with the chocolate chips, stirring until melted.
Pour the melted chocolate mixture over the peanut butter mixture in the dish. Spread evenly to cover all edges.
Refrigerate for at least 3 hours before cutting and serving. Overnight is better.
I used my bench scrapper to cut these bars and it was the perfect tool. I could have actually cut them all in half and had 40 - 48 bars about the size of the mini Reece's cups.
Serves - 20 - 24
Enjoy!

I actually found this recipe on Pinterest and had to try it because I LOVE Reese's Peanut Butter cups!  They were very yummy and I will be making them again.  I halved the recipe because there was no way we needed a whole 9 x 13 pan of peanut butter bars.  Justin's idea is to make these around Christmas to share at the family get togethers.  I think that's the perfect time to make them...that way I won't have to eat the whole pan...I just have to remember where I put the recipe when Christmas rolls around.
