Move Over Reese...

Now here is a yummy treat!  No oven needed, just a microwave, and you can make your very own "Reese's Pieces."  Jacob kept saying "Mmmmmm.... Mmmmmmm" the whole time he ate one, it was cute. Then he asked for another. Seeing as how not healthy these are, I gave him a peach instead. I also forgot to follow the instructions to cut after chilling for five minutes, so the chocolate kind of broke apart a bit. I got busy shredding a gigantic zucchini that was given to me. I don't have a food processor so I hand grated it and it took about half an hour. So the chocolate was good and set by that point. After cutting and being annoyed with myself I remembered that if I had just let it come to room temperature it would have cut easily. Oh well, they still taste good. Keep chilled!




Chocolate Peanut Butter Bars


  • 2 ½ cups graham crumbs

  • 1 cup peanut butter (I use creamy)

  • 1 cup butter, melted (I use hard margarine)

  • 2 ¾ cups icing sugar

  • 2 cups chocolate chips, semi-sweet


  • Mix all ingredients (except chocolate) in medium bowl.
    Press into 9x13 pan.
    Melt chocolate chips (with 1 tbsp of margarine and peanut butter if desired)
    Spread melted chocolate over crust. Chill 5 minutes and cut into bars before chocolate is completely set. Chill to set chocolate before serving.



    PS. I grated 16 cups of zucchini, in case you wanted to know.
