No Bake Peanut Butter Bars

Ok, I just made these today and they're fabulous and super easy to make. They even taste like peanut butter cups. I think this is going to be my new favorite dessert for awhile. I crave peanut butter like crazy when I'm pregnant and nursing!

1 1/2 c crushed graham cracker crumbs (you can buy them already crushed)
3 1/2 c powdered sugar
1 3/4 c smooth peanut butter
1 c butter, melted (2 sticks)
1 bag semi sweet chocolate chips

In a mixing bowl, combine powdered sugar, graham cracker crumbs, peanut butter and melted butter until well mixed.

Line a 9x13 pan with wax paper and spread mixture evenly in bottom of pan. (the woman I got the recipe from used a metal baking pan, I used pyrex so I skipped the lining with wax paper step) Spread mixture evenly in bottom of the pan.

Melt chocolate chips in microwave until smooth. Spread over peanut butter layer. Refridgerate for half an hour until chocolate is almost set. Remove and set on counter for a few hours before cutting. Enjoy!
