Making S’mores in our house is a favorite past time.  Whether we can build a campfire or not, the ingredients are always handy.  We’ll microwave them if we have to!  Needless to say, there are always graham cracker crumbs that could be scooped up and used for something.

One of the easiest recipes I’ve found to use crushed graham crackers in is also very kid friendly.  This is great fun for kids because they get to use their hands to smoosh everything up and it’s basically a no-frills, no-bake bar that’s ready almost instantly.

This is the recipe, if you can call it that!

Peanut Butter Bars In A Flash

• 1/3 cup crushed graham crackers
• 1 stick butter or margarine
• 1 rounded cup peanut butter
• 2 cups powdered sugar
• 2 cups chocolate chips

Mix the first 4 ingredients in a bowl using your hands.  Lightly spray with non-stick spray a small cake pan or other pan about 8 x 10 size.  Press mixed up ingredients into bottom of the pan to form crust.  Melt chocolate chips over warm water, then pour and spread over the top of the crust.  Cool in refrigerator until chocolate hardens.  Cut into squares and enjoy!

While the kids are busy smooshing the crust ingredients, you can be melting the chocolate.  It really does go very quickly.  Simple and delicious!
