Happy Earth Day!!!

Here's a quicky of a recipe for Peanut Butter Bars that doesn't involve your oven... Your microwave, yes... BUT, for the sake of Earth Day, let's NOT use the oven today. If you did a search for 'No-bake' recipes... you'd find hundreds! And some of those treats that only get pulled out for the Holidays? Use them in the months where you crave a treat but it's too hot to bake. I could really go on...

Here's a great bar for your Energy Saving Earth Day... Healthy?? Maybe not so much, but certainly delicious!

INGREDIENTS

• 1 cup butter or margarine, melted
• 2 cups graham cracker crumbs
• 2 cups confectioners' sugar
• 1 cup peanut butter
• 1 1/2 cups semisweet chocolate chips
• 4 tablespoons peanut butter

DIRECTIONS

1. In a medium bowl, mix together the butter or margarine, graham cracker crumbs, confectioners' sugar, and 1 cup peanut butter until well blended. Press evenly into the bottom of an ungreased 9x13 inch pan.
2. In a metal bowl over simmering water, or in the microwave, melt the chocolate chips with the peanut butter, stirring occasionally until smooth. Spread over the prepared crust. Refrigerate for at least one hour before cutting into squares.
