Serves:: 48

ingredients

1 cup unsalted butter, melted
1 lb powdered sugar (4 cups)
11 graham crackers, finely crushed
1 ¹⁄₄ cups creamy peanut butter
2 -7 ounces Hershey Bars (bars used to be 8 oz. So you can use 2 1/2 7 oz bars, if you wish)

directions

Mix all ingredients (except chocolate) in a bowl (with hands like meat loaf).
Note: The more you mix it with your hands,the less messy it gets & comes off your hands easier.
Dump it in a 13x9-inch pan.
Pound it, pat it (spank) firmly in pan.
Melt chocolate in a double boiler.
Pour melted chocolate over mixture in 13x9-inch pan.
Bang pan flat on counter (it'll smooth out the chocolate).
Refrigerate approximately 40 minutes or until it starts to harden.
Then cut into approximately 8 rows & then across.
I cut this into bite size pieces.
(I use a pizza cutter. It really works well).
Put back in refrigerator for a few hours or overnight.
Best if kept refrigerated.

Rich and sweet! Hey GF! This was yummy! I used half butter and half smart balance to keep the trans fats down. Used 5 3/8 ounces low fat crackers = 1 sleeve = 1 3/4 cups finely crushed crackers. I opted to melt the chocolate in the micro for 2 min. Thanks bunches! I made for PAC http://www.recipezaar.com/bb/viewtopic.zsp?t=296583&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=0
