Christmas Baking: Chocoloate Peanut Squares

Yum, Yum, Yum! I will definitely be making this recipe again!

2 cups confectioners' sugar
3/4 cup creamy peanut butter
2/3 cup graham cracker crumbs (or here, I use Butter Biscuit cookies, then crumble them)
1/2 cup butter, melted

Topping:
2/3 cup semisweet chocolate chips
4-1/2 teaspoons creamy peanut butter
1/2 tsp. butter

Line a 9-inch square pan with foil and butter the foil; set aside. In a large bowl, combine the confectioners' sugar, peanut butter, graham cracker crumbs, and butter. Spread into prepared pan.

Combine topping ingredients in a microwave-safe bowl; heat until melted, then stir. Spread over peanut butter layer. Refrigerate until cool. Using foil, lift out of pan. Cut into 1-inch squares. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Yield: 1-1/2 lbs.
