Homemade Reeses peanut butter bars

Thank you to my friends Katie for this yummy recipe!! I tried it out tonight and they are soooooo good!!!

Brooklind was helping out - eating the chocolate

Reese's Peanut Butter Squares:

2 cups finely ground-up graham crackers.
(Use blender to grind to a fine powder.)
(Takes about 2 packages of graham crackers.)
(I break them into smaller pieces as I'm putting them into the blender and have to "pulse" the blender so the big chunks go down.)
4 cups powdered sugar
2 sticks of room-temperature butter
3 cups of peanut butter

2 cups of milk chocolate chips


Mix all ingredients (except for chocolate chips) in mixer until well blended.
Smash into 9x13 pan.
Pat it down so it's evenly spread.
Melt chocolate chips in microwave. Melt for 40 seconds, then stir. Melt for another 40 seconds and stir. DO NOT BURN.
Spread melted chocolate over peanut butter mixture and refrigerate.
