A high school friend's mother gave me this recipe. It's an oldie but goodie that my entire family loves. It's simple and quick to make. I've even made it with crunchy peanut butter.
2 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
1 cup peanut butter
1 cup butter, melted
2 cups semisweet chocolate chips
2 3/4 cups powedered sugar
In a medium bowl, stir together graham cracker crumbs, powdered sugar, peanut butter and melted butter. Press firmly into the bottom of a 9x13 inch pan.
Melt chocolate chips in the microwave, stirring occasionally. Spread melted chocolate over the crumb crust. Chill until chocolate is semi-set, then cut into bars before the chocolate is completely set, chill until ready to serve.
Edited: Ok Annie, here ya go. Here's a pic of mine. See, I really do cook! lol
AND if your family likes coconut then go check out Annie's recipe.
edited: Ok, ok. So melting butter and chocolate chips in the microwave isnt really cooking! BUT they are easy, and they dont heat the house up to make in the summer since you dont bake them!
I'm chuckling over here because I have a picture of the same bars that I just never got around to posting.
ReplyDeleteShane thinks they're great!
OHHHHHHHHHHH YUMMY!!!!
ReplyDeleteannie I "borrowed" that pic off the net. I dont remember if the recipe is the same though. I know I received this recipe years ago when I was a teenager. It was my first husband's best friend's mom's favorite thing to fix for her son and his friends. Seems like ALL chocolate loving men love them. hehe I made some last night, I'm going to take my own pic and post.
ReplyDeleteflipflop mom Try them, they are simmmmmple and yummmmmmy!
I'm going to put my picture up and link to you, if that's ok with you. I cut mine smaller, into Kat-sized pieces.
ReplyDeleteI agree that there's something about chocolate and peanut butter that guys really seem to like.
Yes, I got your email and replied. But check again, because I have something else for you.
annie linking to me is fine. The more the merrier.
ReplyDeleteSo, this is a no-bake type bar? They sound quick and easy. Your friend's recipe involves cooking. I think I like the no cook.
ReplyDeleteanonymous yes these are "no bake" bars. I love it because in the summer you dont have to use the oven. Mix the stuff, press it in the pan, pour chocolate over the top and you're done!
