Source of Recipe
1 Comfort Foods
List of Ingredients
2 sticks (1 cup) margarine, melted
2 1/2 cups powdered sugar
1 cup chunky peanut butter
1 cup graham cracker crumbs
12 oz milk chocolate (chocolate chips or chocolate bar works good)
Recipe
Line a 9x13" pan with parchment or wax paper.
Mix 2 sticks of butter, powdered sugar, peanut butter, and graham
cracker crumbs. Spread mixture on the bottom of the pan.
Melt chocolate and spread over mixture in pan. Let set in a cool
place. Remove from pan and cut into desired shapes.
Melting Chocolate:
You can melt the chocolate either in the microwave or in a double
boiler.
In a Microwave Oven
Place coarsely chopped chocolate in a microwave-safe container and microwave at MEDIUM (50 percent power) for 1 1/2 to 4 minutes, until
the chocolate turns shiny. Remove the container from the microwave
and stir the chocolate until completely melted. Stir milk and white chocolates after about 1 1/2 minutes. Because of their milk proteins, they need to be stirred sooner than dark chocolate. (If overheated,
these chocolates may become grainy.)
In a Double Boiler
Place coarsely chopped chocolate in the top of a double boiler over
hot, not simmering, water. Melt the chocolate, stirring until smooth. Remove the top part of the double boiler from the bottom
