No Bake Cafeteria Peanut Butter Bars image

I loved these as a kid, brings back such great memories. A great recipe that requires no baking and ends up tasting like what a Reese's cup aspires to be - When I saw it posted on Face Book new I had to save it. Cook time is cooling time. I've had to guess at serving size as it depends on how you cut it, but they are rich.

Time 30m

Yield 1 Pan, 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

1/2 cup butter (or margarine, whatever you have)
1/2 cup brown sugar, packed (light or dark, again whatever you have)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 cups peanut butter
2 1/2 cups confectioners' sugar
2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips

Steps:

  • Place all ingredients except the chocolate chips in a large microwave safe bowl.
  • Microwave until butter and peanut butter are melted, one to two minutes (time will vary by microwave).
  • Remove from microwave and use a large spoon to stir all of the ingredients together until they form a ball of dough that leaves the side of the bowl.
  • Pat into a 9x13 pan.
  • Pour chocolate chips into another microwave safe bowl and microwave at 30 second intervals, stirring after each, until completely melted. Spoon over top of peanut butter mixture and spread evenly.
  • Allow to cool completely at room temperature until chocolate hardens again or place in the refrigerator for faster hardening.
  • Cut into squares and serve to some awfully happy people!
