Speedster Peanut Butter Bars

Because a little part of me dies inside every time Reece's Cookies end up being dessert. I want to make my own damn white trash desserts.

So I found a ton of recipes on the Kraft Foods website. Basic Chocopean bars! Double Peanut Butter Bars Chocopean Frozen Layer Loaf!
Crustless Chocopean Bars! PB Brownies!
Grapenut PB Bars!. Chocopean Cream Pie!, Chocopean Swirl Pie!

I ended up doing the simplest one:

2 tbsp melted butter
1/2 cup peanut butter
1 cup confectioners sugar
3/4 cup ground up graham crackers
6 squares baker's semi-sweet choco

Mixed up the first four ingredients real well. Pressed into a loaf pan. Melted choco in the microwave and poured on top. Put it in the freezer for two hours.

It's pretty nice right out of the freezer, but it's especially good if you've moved it to the fridge and maybe it's 6:30am and you just sneak a handful with your morning coffee. The graham cracker gives the peanutbutter a meltaway texture that's pretty awesome. In my opinion, a thinner layer of chocolate would've been nice, but that's just trifling.
