Lately I've had a bit of what I like to ca "school lunch nostalgia." One of my most longed-for items has been a simple confnection made of peanut butter and melted chocolate. This was called "peanut butter candy" in my school, though many others referred to this as "peanut butter bars." You need:
2.5 cups powdered sugar
16-18 oz. peanut butter
1/3 cup sugar (brown, white, whatever)
Pinch of salt
1 stick of butter or margarine
1.5 cups of melted chocolate chips
Mix everything but the chocolate together until it becomes dough-like. (I dump it all into a bowl, microwave for a minute, then stir like mad.) spread into a 9x13 pan, melt some chocolate, spread over it, and chill until done.
Yum!
