And I certainly don't have to like football to like the idea of the celebration of people all coming together to root for something. There's an infectious energy that wafts about the party as guys clink glasses, spill beer and shout their approval. And we cheered with them! To be honest, I don't really care who wins. I just like the big to-do of yet another occasion that brings people together for a common cause...to celebrate.
We did a lot of that this weekend.
I wanted to share with you a little recipe. Something that will make your tummy happy. And I promise these will make it very, very happy. They only take a few ingredients and you don't even have to bake them. Best part? They taste just like Reese's Peanut Butter Cups. Seriously, they'll make you swoon.
No Bake Reece's Peanut Butter Bars
1 1/2 C graham cracker crumbs
1 lb (3 1/2 C) powdered sugar
1 1/2 C creamy peanut butter
1 C (2 sticks) real butter, melted
1 12oz bag chocolate chips (milk, semi-sweet, or dark, you pick!)
2 tsp peanut butter
In a large mixing bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, powdered sugar and peanut butter and butter and beat until combined. Press into a parchment (or waxed paper or foil) lined 9x13 pan.
Place chocolate chips and 2 tsp peanut butter in a microwave safe bowl and heat in 30 second intervals, stirring after each one, until melted and smooth. Pour chocolate over peanut butter mixture and spread out evenly. Place pan in the fridge just until chocolate is set and then cut into bars. Tip: If the bars chill until the chocolate is too hard to easily cut, use a sharp knife and score the cuts first, then gently cut through. Can be stored in the fridge or at room temp. They will stay firmer if stored in the fridge.
