Peanut Butter Squares



These no-fuss, no-muss cookies are always a favorite at potlucks. I give out the recipe at least 20 times a year. For the peanut butter lover in your home, these are the way to go. (For the health-conscious in your home, avoid these like the plague).


2 sticks of margerine or unsalted butter, melted
1 cup of creamy peanut butter
1.5 cups graham cracker crumbs
Approx 3-4 cups of confectioners sugar

Combine melted butter, peanut butter, and graham crumbs. Add in confec. sugar 1 cup at a time until it will take no more sugar. Mixture should be moist and crumbly. Press into a 9x13 pan and chill.

1 bag chocolate chips
3 tbsp margerine

Melt chocolate and margerine together, then spread over the peanut butter mixture. Chill 20 minutes before cutting into squares.
