Peanut Butter Bars

1 C melted butter
1-1/2 C finely crushed graham crackers
2-1/2 C powdered sugar
18-oz. jar crunchy peanut butter
2 C semi-sweet chocolate chips

Preheat oven to 350*.

Mix first four ingredients in a large bowl until well combined.  You will be able to do this with a wooden spoon.  Spoon into a 9x13 pan and smooth.  

Put chocolate chips on top.  Put into oven for 5 minutes.  Spread melted chips evenly over top.

Refrigerate until set.

These are so good!  They taste really similar to Reese's Peanut Butter Cups.  Try them!!!

Glazed Peanut Butter Bars

3/4 C butter, softened
3/4 C creamy peanut butter
3/4 C sugar
3/4 C packed brown sugar
2 tsp water
2 eggs
1-1/2 tsp vanilla extract
1-1/2 C all-purpose flour
1-1/2 C quick-cooking oats
3/4 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
GLAZE:
1-1/4 C chocolate chips
1/2 C butterscotch chips
1/2 C creamy peanut butter

In a large mixing bowl, cream the butter, peanut butter, sugars, and water. Beat in eggs and vanilla. Combine the flour, oats, baking soda, and salt; gradually add to creamed mixture.

Spread into a greased 15-in. x 10-in. x 1-in. baking pan. (I used a 9x13 pan and just cut smaller pieces.) Bake at 325* for 18-22 minutes or until lightly browned. (Mine went about 30 minutes, with the last 5 on the lower rack. I just checked with a toothpick to see if it was done.)

For glaze, in a microwave-safe bowl, melt chips and peanut butter; pour over warm bars and spread evenly. Cool completely on a wire rack before cutting.

These are so good!!!!! Make them!!!!!!!!
