Ingredients

• 1 1/2 cups (3 sticks) butter or margarine
• 2 cups creamy peanut butter
• 2 cups graham cracker crumbs
• 4 cups powdered sugar
• Topping:
• 2 cups heavy cream
• 24-ounce package semi-sweet chocolate chips

Directions

1. Melt margarine and peanut butter together in a saucepan, stirring often.

2. When melted and smooth, pour into a large mixing bowl. Add the graham cracker crumbs and the powdered sugar.

3. Mix well (it will become very thick). Press into a 9-by-12-inch cake pan. Use another small pan or small cutting board to press down well and make the top even. Let the mixture set in refrigerator until firm.

4. Put the chocolate chips into a large mixing bowl. In a pan, bring the cream just to a boil. Pour over the chocolate chips. Stir until melted. Spread the chocolate mixture over the top of the peanut-butter graham cracker base. Let cool and harden in the refrigerator. Slice into 2-by-3-inch bars. Makes 18 bars.
