NO BAKE PEANUT BUTTER BARS

Today’s recipe brings back a lot of nostalgic feelings for me. My mom made these bars for us when we were little and they were my favorite part of the dessert tray around the holidays. She made a big, spectacular dessert and then prepared a tray of pecan candies, chewy cherry coconut cookies, and those gorgeous Reese’s bars. You can only imagine what I always took first.
I had almost completely forgotten about them until Kevin asked me to make “no-bake bars.”“Could you please clarify?! I described them to him and within seconds he was in the kitchen with the 5 ingredients on the counter.

Ingredients

For the peanut butter layer

1 cup melted butter
3 3/4 cups powdered sugar
1 1/2 cups creamy peanut butter
1 1/2 cups crushed graham crackers

For garnish
