It’s been eons since I’ve whipped together this sweet for my children. Just hearing my daughter talk about making it for her children gave me a hankering for this super chocolate-peanut butter treat. It’s such an easy recipe with just 5 ingredients and no cooking! Is there anything better than the blend of peanut butter and chocolate?
Buckeye Bars
1 cup butter, melted
1 1/2 cups peanut butter (creamy or crunchy) + 3 tablespoons
2 cups graham cracker crumbs
2 cups powdered sugar
2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
Melt butter by microwave and add to graham cracker crumbs and powdered sugar. Stir until smooth.
Add peanut butter (I love crunchy!) and mix well.
Press evenly into a 9 x 13 casserole dish. (Optional: Line the pan with parchment paper for ease of removal) Melt chocolate chips and 3 tablespoons of peanut butter in the microwave. Stir until smooth. Pour over peanut butter in casserole, covering all of the peanut butter mixture. Refrigerate for an hour. Cut into small squares. Store in the refrigerator until ready to serve. Take out 10 minutes before serving.
I like that this treat can be made over a wood stove when the power goes out!

Funny! I’d rather lose power in the summer than in today’s ice storm. I can’t call this a healthy indulgence but at least there is a tiny bit of protein.
