No-Oven Peanut Butter Squares

If you can't get enough of that peanut butter-chocolate combo, then these are for you!

Ingredients:
1/2 cup (1 stick) butter or margarine
2 cups powdered sugar
1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
1 cup peanut butter
1 1/2 packages (12 squares) semi-sweet baking chocolate

  1. Line a 13X9 baking pan with foil, with end of foil extending over the sides of the pan. Set aside.
  2. Melt butter in microwave for 45 seconds or until melted. Add sugar, graham cracker crumbs, and peanut butter and mix well. (I typically just throw everything into my stand mixer as opposed to doing it by hand. I also microwave the peanut butter until it's just slightly runny, so it mixes in more easily.)
  3. Spread and press into prepared pan.
  4. Microwave baking chocolate until completely melted (30 second intervals, stirring between each interval)
  5. Let chocolate cool slightly, then pour over peanut butter mixture in pan. Allow to cool just a few minutes, then cut partially through dessert to mark your squares.
  6. Refrigerate 1 hour or until set. Left from pan using foil handles and cut all the way through dessert into squares.
Enjoy!
