GOLD BARS

Steps:

• 1. In a large bowl mix together melted butter & confectioners' sugar.
• 2. Next, add 2 cups preferred peanut butter until well blended. The mixture should have cooled to room temperature by this point.
• 3. Fold in rice crispies until well coated. Try to avoid over mixing which can crush the cereal.
• 4. In a 13x11 baking dish that has been lined with plastic wrap & lightly sprayed with non-stick cooking spray, gently press mixture evenly into baking dish.
• 5. For the Topping: In the microwave, melt the chocolate chips stirring until smooth. (Heat approx 30-45 seconds at a time, then stir & repeat until fully melted. Be careful, the mixing dish can get extremely hot! You can use any preferred method for melting the chocolate.)
• 6. Next add the 4tbsp of peanut butter to the melted chocolate. Add a few extra chocolate chips, approx. 1 tbsp to temper the chocolate. Stir until completely incorporated. The chocolate will have a shine to it.
• 7. Allow to cool to about room temperature & pour on top of peanut butter mixture. (I let it cool for about 5 minutes or so.)
• 8. Chill uncovered in the refrigerator until set but not hard. Chocolate will begin to lose its shiny appearance. (approx. 1hr & 15min.)
• 9. Cut into pieces of desired size. (I use a pizza cutter.)
• 10. Cover & return to the refrigerator until chocolate has hardened completely. (Overnight is best.) The longer these are kept, the better they get.
