Peanut Butter & Chocolate Candy

To Live For!
They taste a lot like Reese's peanut butter cups.

1 cup peanut butter
2 1/3 cups powderd sugar
2 sticks of butter at room temp. (can be melted)
1 package of graham cracker crumbs
1 (12 oz) package milk chocolate chips

Mix peanut butter and butter together. Add powdered sugar. Add graham cracker crumbs. Put into a 13 x 9 pan. Melt chocolate chips and pour over top. Spread evenly. Let sit in refrigerator for 20 minutes. Remove and cut into squares. Refrigerate another 45 minutes.

For best results, store in the refrigerator. May be stored in the freezer.

TIPS:
I use the microwave the melt the chocolate chips. 1 minute, stir, and one more minute.
I like making my own graham cracker crumbs. Better texture that way. Just grind or smash til small crumbs.
