PEANUT BUTTER SQUARES

Category: Bars

1/2 cup butter
2 cups powdered sugar
1-1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs (I crush my own crackers so they are more coarse)
1 cup peanut butter
12-squares semi-sweet baking chocolate (12 oz)
1/4 cup chopped unsalted peanuts (optional for garnish)

Line 13 x 9-inch baking pan with foil; use extra foil to extend over sides of pan to later use as ifting handles. Spray foil with non-stick cooking spray.

Melt butter in large microwaveable bowl on HIGH 45 seconds until melted. Stir in sugar, crumbs and peanut butter; mix well. Spread mixture into prepared pan.

Melt chocolate in microwaveable bowl on HIGH for 1-1/2 to 2 minutes or until smooth, stirring after 1 minute. Cool chocolate slightly; pour over peanut butter mixture in pan. Cool. Cut partially through mixture to mark 48 squares. Refrigerate 2 hours or until set. Lift from pan, using foil handles. Cut all the way through mixture into squares. Yield: 48 squares
