Cafeteria Peanut Butter Bars

Recipe #359814 | 15 min | 15 min prep | add private note

These were the peanut butter bars that our school cafeteria used to sell for 25 cents a bar. I am sure they had to make multiple pans a day, these were so good! Very easy to make and really tasty! No baking required. Prep time does not include refrigeration time.

SERVES 36 , 36 2x2 squares (cookie sheet) (change servings and units)

Ingredients

Directions

  1. 1
    1. Mix the sifted powdered sugar, brown sugar and melted butter together well. Fold in the creamy peanut butter until blended.
  2. 2
    2. Spread the peanut butter mixture into a buttered pan; 9x13 for thicker bars, cookie sheet for thinner bars.
  3. 3
    3. Melt the chocolate chips and 1/2 cup butter and pour over the peanut butter mixture. Spread around to make it even.
  4. 4
    4. Refrigerate for 1 hour, until chocolate has solidified most of the way, and cut into bars with an unserrated knife.
  5. 5
    5. Return to the refrigerator over night until set. (I return to the freezer for faster set time).

These were yummy! Wanted something easy and this did the trick! I'm a peanut butter fanatic and couldn't have been happier. Followed the recipe exactly. Brought them into work and they were gone in a flash! Thanks for sharing!
