PEANUT BUTTER BALLS OR BARS 
1 1/3 c. graham cracker crumbs
Scant 2 c. powdered sugar
1 c. crunchy peanut butter
1 c. butter (2 sticks)
6 to 12 oz. semi-sweet chocolate chips

Combine graham cracker crumbs and sugar. In saucepan melt peanut butter and butter together. Stir into crumb mixture, blending thoroughly. Either form dough into 1 inch balls and chill or evenly press into a 13 x 9 inch pan.

Melt 6 ounces chocolate and coat chilled balls, placing on waxed paper to harden; OR spread on top of mixture in pan. (You will need the second 6 ounces of chocolate for coating the balls.)

When chocolate topping has hardened, cut into 1 inch bars. Store either bars or balls tightly covered or freezer. Yield: 7 to 8 dozen.
