Here’s another chocolate/peanut butter no-bake cookie recipe to try. Have plenty of cold milk on hand before you make this one:

Reese's Peanut Butter Bars

1 cup melted butter

2 cups graham cracker crumbs

1/4 cup brown sugar

1 3/4 cup powdered sugar (I was out, so I ran granulated sugar through the blender)

1 cup natural peanut butter

1/2 tsp. vanilla

11 ounces chocolate chips

Combine all ingredients except chocolate chips in a medium sized bowl. Stir until the mixture is smooth and creamy. Pour peanut butter mixture into a parchment-lined 9x13 pan. Melt chocolate chips in the microwave at 50% power for about a minute. The chocolate won’t LOOK like it’s melting until you stir it. Once it’s melted pour the chocolate over the peanut butter mixture. Spread chocolate with a spatula. Refrigerate bars for one hour.  Once it’s completely cool, cut into bars. Makes 24 small servings or 12 really large helpings!
