Reese’s Peanut Butter Bars (No Baking Involved!)

1 cup melted margarine

3 cups powdered sugar

1 cup peanut butter (Jif works best)

2 cups crushed graham crackers (1 ½ pkgs)

1 cup (or half of a 12-oz bag) of chocolate chips

Mix together the first 4 ingredients. Press mixture firmly into a (ungreased) 9x13 pan. Then melt 1 cup of chocolate chips and pour over peanut butter mixture. Refrigerate for half an hour, then cut into squares, being sure to cut around the edges ( it won’t be firm yet, so it will cut easier and cleaner now than later). Put back in refrigerator for another ½ hour or more and then cut again and enjoy!
