With the temperatures topping out at 111 this week, the last thing I wanted to do was turn on the oven even if it meant no cookies! This is a recipe that has been around for years in many variations. I'll give you the plain and simple and then it's up to your imagination on how to adjust it to suit your needs!
No-Bake Candy Bar Cookies
3 sticks of butter (Margarine just want do for this one!)
4 cups graham cracker crumbs
2 cups chunky peanut butter
1/2 cup chopped, salted peanuts
2 cups powdered sugar
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
4 cup semisweet or milk chocolate chips
1 cup white chocolate chips
Soften the butter and combine with graham cracker crumbs, peanut butter, peanuts, powdered sugar, vanilla, and combine. Press the mixture into a jelly roll pan. Freeze for approximately 10-15 minutes while you prepare the chocolate layer.
Slowly melt the semisweet or milk chocolate chips (I like to use a combination) either in the microwave or over a double boiler. Pour the melted chocolate over the now cold graham cracker layer. Now, melt the white chocolate chips and drizzle it over the chocolate layer. Refrigerate until firm. Cut into bars and serve. Store between layers of waxed paper in the refrigerator.

Before the chocolate layer sets, sprinkle some colorful sugar or decorations over it.
More chopped nuts is always a plus on the chocolate layer.
