Peanut Butter Candy

I got this recipe from someone I used to work with. My family loves this recipe due to it is almost like a Peanut Butter Cup. I hope you enjoy making this recipe & eating too. I have to make this every Christmas.

• Ready In: 45 mins
• Serves: 48

Ingredients

• 1  cup unsalted butter, melted
• 1  lb powdered sugar (4 cups)
• 11  graham crackers, finely crushed
• 1 1⁄4 cups creamy peanut butter
• 2 -7  ounces  Hershey Bars (bars used to be 8 oz. So you can use 2 1/2 7 oz bars, if you wish)

Directions

1. Mix all ingredients (except chocolate) in a bowl (with hands like meat loaf).
2. Note: The more you mix it with your hands,the less messy it gets & comes off your hands easier.
3. Dump it in a 13x9-inch pan.
4. Pound it, pat it (spank) firmly in pan.
5. Melt chocolate in a double boiler.
6. Pour melted chocolate over mixture in 13x9-inch pan.
7. Bang pan flat on counter (it'll smooth out the chocolate).
8. Refrigerate approximately 40 minutes or until it starts to harden.
9. Then cut into approximately 8 rows & then across.
10. I cut this into bite size pieces.
11. (I use a pizza cutter. It really works well).
12. Put back in refrigerator for a few hours or overnight.
13. Best if kept refrigerated.
