Chocolate and Peanut Butter Squares

I found this recipe on the internet and I've made it for the past 2 Sunday lunches at church. Each time I return home with an empty pan, plus they are dang good. Make this. It's like Reese's cups only in bar form.

2 sticks butter
2 cups creamy peanut butter
1 1/2 cups fine graham cracker crumbs
3 cups powdered sugar
12 oz. chocolate chips

Melt 1 stick of butter on low heat in a medium pot. Add peanut butter. Add the 3 cups powdered sugar. Add graham cracker crumbs. Press this "dough" into a 9x13 pan. Melt the other stick of butter with the chocolate chips in the microwave. Once it is smooth spread it over the top of the dough. Refrigerate at least 30 minutes or overnight if you want. Devour while no one is looking.

Note* Once you add 2 cups of powdered sugar the mixture becomes very stiff and difficult to stir. When I made these yesterday I only added 2 cups sugar and they tasted just as good. They were just a little more crumbly. It also helps if you keep the pot over low heat while you stir everything in.
