Olivia has been busy in the kitchen again whipping up these awesome peanut butter bars. We are a house divided when it comes to peanut butter. Olivia and I love it while Spouse and Noah do not. Peanut butter cups are a particular favorite and these cookie bars are very reminiscent of those popular treats with the added crunchy bonus of an Oreo cookie crumb crust.

Oreo Peanut Butter Bars
Line a 9x9 pan with parchment paper or lightly grease the bottom. I prefer lining the pan with parchment paper for all bar cookies because once cooled you can lift the entire batch out of the pan once they are cooled, making them much easier to cut evenly.
Min together:
2 cups Oreo cookie crumbs
4 tbsp sugar
1/2 cup melted butter
Press into the bottom of the prepared pan and bake for 10 minutes at 350 degrees F. Cool completely.
For the filling mix together:
1/2 cup melted butter
1 3/4 cups icing sugar (powdered sugar)
3/4 cup graham crumbs
1 cup peanut butter
Mix together until completely smooth, then spread evenly on the cooled cookie crumb base. Chill for several hours.
Melt together:
1/4 cup butter
3/4 cup chocolate chips
Spread evenly over the top of the peanut butter layer.
Chill to let the chocolate set up before cutting into bars or squares.
