My high school cafeteria had chocolate peanut butter bars that I loved. These aren’t exactly the same, but they remind me of the ones I loved as a teen.
And guess what, you can make them in 10 minutes with just five ingredients and no baking! That’s my kind of recipe.
Cafeteria Peanut Butter Bars
1 package graham crackers (blended to a fine powder)
1 c. creamy peanut butter
1 c. melted butter
1 lb. powdered sugar (approximately 3 3/4 c.)
Mix the first four ingredients, and press into a 9×13 pan. It will be fairly thick.
Then melt one bag of chocolate chips, and spread over the peanut butter mixture.
I usually put the pan in the fridge for maybe 45 minutes while the chocolate sets up. Don’t let it harden too much, or it will crack when you cut the bars. Let it cool just enough to firm up a bit before cutting into bars.
This is one of those desserts where after a few bites you feel like it is too rich. But then two minutes later, you have to have more. I love that!
