No Bake Peanut Butter Bars


Ingredients:
  • 1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs
  • 1 lb confectioners sugar
  • 1 ½ cups peanut butter
  • 1 cup melted butter
  • 1 (12 ounce) bag milk chocolate chips
Instructions:

Crush graham crackers into crumbs.  (You could buy the crumbs, but it’s so easy and much more economical to crush your own.)  I crushed one package of graham crackers and used those, even though it was slightly more than 1 ½ cups.
Melt butter in microwave safe bowl.
Add peanut butter, powdered sugar and graham cracker crumbs to butter and mix well.  It will form a soft, moist dough.
Press the dough into a lightly greased 9×13 baking pan.
In another microwave safe container, melt the chocolate chips in the microwave, stirring every 15 seconds until they are completely melted and spreadable.
Spread the melted chocolate over the dough in your 9×13 pan and pop the pan in the fridge or freezer to let the chocolate reharden and the bars set up.
Spread the melted chocolate over the top of the bars.
Cut into squares (Make them small, these are RICH.) and serve.  Delicious!  Scrumptious!  Yum!  And SOOOO easy

No Bake Strawberry Ice Box Cake


Ingredients:

3 lbs. fresh strawberries, sliced
2 (8 oz.) tubs fat-free whipped topping (or use regular or light)
1 (14.4 oz.) box graham crackers
1/4 cup milk chocolate chip morsels

Directions:

1. Spread a small amount of whipped topping on the bottom of a 9x13-inch baking pan. Place 5 graham cracker sheets down the middle and break 2 more sheets into crackers to fit down the sides. Lightly cover the top of the graham crackers with more whipped topping and then a layer of sliced strawberries. Repeat three times, until you have four layers of graham crackers (you may be a few crackers short on the top layer, but that's ok). You'll end with a layer of strawberries on top.
2. Place milk chocolate chip morsels in a plastic bag. Microwave in 10 second intervals until melted. Snip the end of the plastic bag and drizzle chocolate over top of cake.
3. Refrigerate covered for at least four hours, or until the crackers have softened completely. Cake will last well for two days. It will still be good on the third day, but the strawberries will start to get juicy and leak into the whipped topping. It will still taste good, but it won't be as pretty.
