HOMEMADE REESE'S BARS

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, stir together graham cracker crumbs, confectioners' sugar, peanut butter and melted butter. Press firmly into the bottom of a 9x13 inch pan.
• Melt chocolate chips and peanut butter in the microwave, stirring occasionally. Spread melted chocolate over the crumb crust. Chill for one hour and then cut into squares.

REESE'S PEANUT BUTTER CUP BARS

Steps:

• Mix butter, graham cracker crumbs, powdered sugar, and peanut butter. (an easy way to measure the peanut butter is to put 1 cup of water into a measuring cup, and then add enough peanut butter to it that the water reaches 2 cups).
• Press mixture into a 9x13" pan.
• Melt chocolate chips in microwave and stir until smooth (try a minute first, and then check).
• Spread chocolate carefully over peanut butter layer with a spatula. (Having one person to pour the chocolate and one to spread works well!).
• Let the chocolate cool for a while, and then cut into bars before the chocolate is completely hardened (or else the chocolate layer will just crack).
• (cooking time is cooling time, and it's a very rough estimate, I didn't keep track).
