Peanut Butter Balls (or Bars)

Legacy of Helen Held Nee Parker

Newtonville, Indiana



1 2/3 Cups Graham cracker crumbs or 1 sleeve of graham crackers, crumbled

Scant 2 cups Confectioners sugar

1 cup peanut butter

1 cup butter or margarine (2 sticks)

6 to 12 ounces semisweet chocolate chips



Directions:

Combine graham-cracker crumbs and sugar.

In saucepan melt peanut butter and butter together.

Stir into crumb mixture, blending thoroughly.

Either form dough into 1-inch balls and chill, OR press evenly into 13 x 9 inch pan.

Melt 6 ounces of chocolate and coat chilled balls, placing on waxed paper to harden, OR spread on top of mixture in pan. (You will need the second 6 ounces of chocolate for coating the balls.)

When chocolate topping has hardened, cut into 1-inch bars. Store either bars or balls tightly covered or freeze.

Yield: 7 to 8 dozen.
