Original Recipe Yield 2 dozen
 

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2/3 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup butter, melted
  • 2 egg yolks
  • 2/3 cup semisweet chocolate chips
  • 1 1/4 cups confectioners' sugar
  • 1 cup peanut butter
  • 1/4 cup butter, melted
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon milk
  • 1/3 cup semisweet chocolate chips
  • 1 tablespoon shortening

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  2. In a medium bowl, combine the flour, brown sugar, 1/2 cup of butter and the egg yolks. Mix together by hand until everything is well blended, and the mixture is crumbly. Press evenly into a 9x13 inch pan.
  3. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes in the preheated oven, until light gold.
  4. As soon as the crust comes out of the oven, sprinkle the 2/3 cup of chocolate chips onto it. Return to the oven for 1 to 2 minutes. Take out of the oven and spread the melted chocolate chips over the crust. Set aside.
  5. In a medium bowl, mix together the confectioners' sugar, peanut butter,1/4 cup of margarine, and vanilla. Then stir in the milk. Crumble the peanut butter mixture over the chocolate layer. Press down lightly. In a medium saucepan, combine the 1/3 cup chocolate chips and the shortening. Cook over low heat, stirring occasionally until melted. Drizzle over the peanut butter layer and refrigerate until set, about 3 to 4 hours. Cut into 2x 1 1/2 inch bars
