No Bake Peanut Butter Bars


I have had this recipe in my recipe box for a long time. I have made them several times. They are super easy. Instead of spreading the chocolate over top, you could easily cut the bars then dip them in chocolate to completely cover them.

No Bake Peanut Butter Bars

1/2 cup butter
1/2 cup brown sugar
1 tsp vanilla
2 cups peanut butter
2 1/2 cups powered sugar
2 cups semi sweet chocolate chips

In a microwave safe bowl, melt the butter, brown sugar, vanilla, peanut butter and powdered sugar. Press into a 9 x 13 pan. Melt chocolate chips, pour and spread over top. Refrigerate until set. Cut and serve.

**I mix with a spatula. After mixed well, I will use a fork and press out any lumps of powdered sugar in the mixture.
**Spread foil or wax paper in your pan, leave some over the edge. When set, use the hangover as handles to lift bars out of pan.
**Don't dirty two bowls. After spreading peanut butter mixture into your pan, use the same bowl to melt your chocolate. Put chocolate in microwave for about 45 seconds, if need more time to melt give about 30 seconds more.
