Here they are…my favorite Christmas treat. This is the bar that I reach for on the goodie plate every time. I simply can’t get enough of them. I got this recipe from a good friend last year, and have now made them about 11 times!! A tried and true amazingly delicious dessert.
Want to learn how to make them? Of course you do!! Let’s bake. Combine peanut butter and butter in a saucepan over medium heat.
Let it combine nicely. Take off the heat.
Add icing sugar and graham wafer crumbs and stir it up.
Place yummy mixture into a 9 x 9-inch pan.
Then get the chocolate ready. Melt chocolate chips and shortening together.
Pour the chocolate on top of the peanut butter base, and place in the fridge for about 2 hours.
Eat! Oh my these were good. Key word being “were”.
