Peanut Butter Bars



Ingredients:

1 cup butter or margarine, melted
2 cups gluten-free graham cracker crumbs (I used Josef's gluten-free cinnamon graham crackers)
2 cups confectioners' sugar
1 cup peanut butter
1 1/2 cups semisweet chocolate chips
4 tablespoons peanut butter

Directions:

1. In a medium bowl, mix together the butter or margarine, GF graham cracker crumbs, confectioners' sugar, and 1 cup peanut butter until well blended. Press evenly into the bottom of an ungreased 9x13 inch pan.

2. In a metal bowl over simmering water, or in the microwave, melt the chocolate chips with the 4 tablespoons of peanut butter, stirring occasionally until smooth. Spread over the prepared crust. Refrigerate for at least one hour before cutting into squares.

Hi Katie,

I just discovered your blog and it's great! I was diagnosed with Celiac a few months ago at age 21, and also love to bake and exploring new dining-out-in-dc options. I have a few questions about living gluten free that I haven't had a chance to ask someone who has Celiac's, so if you wouldn't mind perhaps I could shoot those q's your way, or to a dc resource you would recommend. My e-mail is mes76@georgetown.edu. Thanks for making a wonderful blog!
