These bars are easy to whip up, but do require some refrigeration time. I made mine the night before so they would be ready for lunch the next day.
These are definitely a special treat you are going to want to try!

Supplies needed: Ziploc bag, a wooden spoon, mixing bowl, fork, knife, measuring cup, small saucepan, spoon, 9x13 inch pan, plastic wrap and a refrigerator
Ingredients:
For the peanut butter layer:
- 1 cup crushed graham crackers
- 1/2 cup butter, softened
- 2 cups powdered sugar
- 1 cup peanut butter
For the chocolate layer:
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 cup chocolate chips
What to do:
For the peanut butter layer:
- Crush graham crackers into crumbs.
- Mix crumbs together with 1/2 cup butter, powdered sugar and peanut butter.
- Press mixture into an ungreased 9-by-13-inch pan.
- In a small saucepan, combine sugar, milk and 2 tablespoons butter. (An adult will have to do this part.) Bring the mixture to a boil, stirring constantly.
- Remove mixture from heat and add chocolate chips. Stir until smooth.
- Spread chocolate over graham cracker layer.
- Chill until chocolate is set and cut into small squares.
One word: DELICIOUS! I love how Shaba Girl described the peanut butter chocolate squares. She said the bottom layer tasted like a cool peanut butter cookie and the top layer tasted like fudge, but eaten together, it tasted like a peanut butter cup. Papa Bear and The Master noted the crunchiness of the peanut butter layer. It is a bit of a surprise because you can't see the crushed graham crackers, but you get the crunch of them in every bite. Everyone who tasted the bars thought they were rich and yummy.
