Peanut Butter "CUP" Bars


I love the combo of chocolate and peanut butter. You put them in a "peanut butter cup" and I'm there - addicted - eating the entire bag of them in one setting. So, when I found a recipe that claimed to be exactly like those delish ones I can buy at the store, I decided to try it . . . . and PLEASE don't mention that these aren't healthy - they have my two food groups! Peanut Butter and Chocolate!
1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
3 1/2 cups (1 pound) powdered sugar
1 1/2 cups creamy peanut butter
2 sticks butter, melted
1 12 oz package chocolate chips
2 tsp peanut butter
Line a 9x13 pan with wax paper or foil.
In a large bowl, combine graham crackers, powdered sugar, peanut butter and butter. Mix until combined (I just hand mixed with wooden spoon - and it mixed easily). Press mixture into foil-lined pan.
Place chocolate chips and peanut butter in microwave safe bowl. Heat in thirty second intervals, stirring after each one until chocolate is melted and mixture is smooth. Pour over peanut butter mix and spread evenly.
Place in fridge until chocolate is set. Cut into bars.
