Yum-O

Magazines PILE up around here during the school year. I never even flip through them until summer is looming. Then, I mark them. I go through the Kraft Food and Family ones first and mark all the new recipes I am going to try before school starts. I love those recipes because they are for real people with real lives and real kids- kids that will offer their real opinions.

Aaron and I began by working on this one together. Of course we started with a dessert! They call these "Buckeye Bars" but we just call them Peanut Butter Squares. YUM-O.

What you need:
1/2 cup (1 stick) butter, softened
3/4 cup crunchy peanut butter
22 NILLA Wafers, crushed
2 cups powdered sugar
1/2 of 8-oz. tub COOL WHIP Whipped Topping (Do not thaw.)
3 squares BAKER'S Semi-Sweet Chocolate

LINE 8-inch square pan with foil, with ends of foil extending over sides. Beat butter and peanut butter with mixer until blended. Mix in wafer crumbs. Gradually add sugar, mixing well after each addition. Press onto bottom of pan.

MICROWAVE COOL WHIP and chocolate in microwaveable bowl on HIGH 1 min.; stir. Microwave 15 to 30 sec. or until chocolate is melted; stir until blended. Spread over peanut butter layer.

REFRIGERATE 2 hours. Use foil handles to lift dessert from pan before cutting to serve.
