Less work than rolling the confection into balls and just as good!

1 cup graham cracker crumbs

1 (1-pound) box powdered sugar ( or 4 cups)

3/4 cup butter, melted

21/2 cups smooth-style peanut butter (add 1/4 cup more for crunchy)

1 (12-ounce) package semisweet or milk chocolate chips

1 tablespoon vegetable shortening

1. In large bowl, combine crushed graham crackers and powdered sugar. Set aside
2. Combine melted butter with the peanut butter. Add to graham cracker mixture and mix well. Press into a buttered 13 x 9 x 2-inch baking pan.
3. Heat chocolate chips with shortening in the microwave on high for 1 to 2 minutes, stirring every 30 seconds, until melted. Be careful, the chocolate will burn easily. (Or melt chocolate in a double boiler over simmering water.)
4. Spread melted chocolate over peanut butter mixture. When chocolate becomes firm, cut into 1-inch squares.

Makes 117 (1-inch) squares.
