It Might As Well Be Crack

Pssssttt.
Hey you. Kid. Wanna try something so good it'll knock your socks off??

Then you must delve into this delectable treat. It's one of my favorite desserts...it chocolatey, it's peanut-buttery, it rich and oh-so deeeee-lish that it has solely contributed to the extra weight that I am physically unable to take off my body after birthing 3 children. It's so easy to make that there's no excuse for you to not drop everything you're doing, run to the kitchen and whip some up right this minute. It' a Reese's Peanut Butter Cup....only better.
Only a whole pan.
Only a whole pan that you can make up and devour all by yourself before the kids get home.

Try it:

Peanut Butter Bars

2 sticks butter, melted
1 cup peanut butter
1 3/4 cup graham cracker crumbs
2 1/3 cup powdered sugar

Combine the preceding ingredients in a bowl and spread in an ungreased 9x12 in pan. Or you could use a square pan if you want thicker, more calorie-packed bars. Melt 2 cups of chocolate chips on stovetop and spread on the peanut butter mixture. Cool and cut when set.
And if you like a firmer, less gooey bar, you could do what I do: Stick it in the fridge to chill it...under the bag of spinach in the way back...so your kids can't see it and eat it and you have it all to yourself.

Or something like that.


YUM.

Dan - That's funny...I've found crack to have the same effect.
