Justin made this treat this past week for Jared's birthday and once more...just because. This threatened to bring my diet to a crashing halt-- Ugh! Thankfully, even after over-dosing on this "fudge," I still managed to lose the last of 20 lbs! :) I still have a long way to go! Hopefully Justin won't keep making this or I'll be spending my day on the treadmill! Warning: This is definitely not a diet food! Make at your own risk!! But, ohhh, sooo good!! haha.
1/2 c. butter, melted
2 c. chunky peanut butter (I use Jif Natural)
1 lb. powdered sugar (3.75 cups)
1 1/2 c. Nestle chocolate chips, melted
3 sheets of Honey-Maid graham crackers, crushed into crumbs
Cream together above ingredients until well combined. Pat mixture into the bottom of a lightly greased 9x13" baking pan or glass dish using a large piece of waxed paper. Melt chocolate chips in microwave on low power, stir. Spread melted chocolate over peanut butter using the back of a spoon. Chill until firm. Cut into 24 squares. Each square is 250 calories! (Or, better yet, cut each piece into fourths--and have only 2 pieces. Good luck with that!)
*If this recipe isn't decadent enough for you try Justin's latest adjustment: Pat the crumbs of an chocolate pie crust into the bottom of a pan before the rest of the ingredients.
