Who loves peanut butter??

Another great semester: my husband has a ton of trips.  Trips away from home.  Leaving me alone.  With the dog.  And our son.  Alone.  Bored.

What do I do when I'm bored?  Well, I have a tendancy to cook……or bake.  More so bake.

Well, I restrained myself, and decided to do something easy.  I made peanut butter bars.  The melt in your mouth kind that I can enjoy, well, over the course of an hour (takes me a little while to eat them).

Nick found the recipe a few weeks ago.  Every day I check the allrecipes.com website for new ideas, so I guess he decided to as well.  And he found a video thingy that showed how to make the perfect peanut butter bars and said I should try them.  The first time, we only had cinnamon graham crackers, but even still it turned out superbly.

Today I decided to make them the right way.  And now as I type, I am munching away and I have to tell you, there can't be a better culinary combination that peanut butter and chocolate (well, except cinnamon and chocolate, but you all know I'm crazy for cinnamon….)

So, if you all want to try this amazing recipe yourselves, read on down and I will tell you how!



Melt a cup of butter and mix it into 2 cups of graham cracker crumbs.
Add two cups of powder sugar and one cup of peanut butter.  Mix it well with a hand mixer until its all crumbly.
Press it into a cake pan and set aside.
Melt 1 1/2 cup chocolate chips with 4 tbsp of peanut butter.
Pour over the peanut butter mix in the pan.
Let it set in the fridge for an hour, then cut up and serve!

You will fall in love with this easy recipe (it's great for kids to help with as well!  My son loves when we get to smash up graham crackers)
