Home Cookin'

Since we have had sun for the past few days, and today is the first day of rain, I decided to take a break from working my horse to do some grocery shopping. I also picked up some ingredients to make a recipe that caught my eye the other day on Pinterest (for those of you who don't know what Pinterest is, I highly suggest you find out! It's the grandest thing on the internet right now!)

Anyways, I came across a pin from one of my friends for Reese's Peanut Butter Bars. I traced it back to it's original source, which happens to be a delightful blog called "Let's Dish." Her blog is full of delightful food (that's one thing about us farm girls, we know how to eat!) So I decided to give the recipe a try. What makes this recipe so awesome is that it's a NO BAKE dessert! Now, all I have to do is wait for it to set in the fridge.....maybe its time to do some DIY projects while waiting..... 
All ready to begin

First, you combine graham cracker crumbs, peanut butter,
and icing sugar. 

Looks yummy! 

Then, add in melted butter. (I substituted margarine for this part) 

Sleepy kitty break! 

Melting the chocolate in my awesome pan that Trisha gave us
for our wedding present! 

Delish! 

Et Voila! 
So here are the directions for making this delish bar! 

Reese's Peanut Butter Bars
(From "Let's Dish") 

Ingredients
1 cup melted butter (or margarine)
2 cups graham cracker crumbs (use the boxed kind, or grind up your own in a food processor) 
*I bought my graham cracker crumbs from the bulk section and ended up with the same deal*
2 cups icing sugar
1 cup + 4 tablespoons peanut butter
1 1/2 cups semisweet chocolate chips (I subbed milk chocolate chips in on this one) 

Directions
In medium bowl, combine the melted butter, graham cracker crumbs, and confectioner's sugar and 1 cup of peanut butter until well blended. Press evenly into the bottom of a 9 by 13 pan. In a metal bowl over water, or in the microwave, melt the chocolate chips and the remaining 4 tablespoons of peanut butter together, stirring occasionally until smooth. Spread over the peanut butter layer. Refrigerate for at least one hour before cutting into squares.
