As a tribute to my wonderful Peep-lovin' professor, I created the Moon Peep Bar.
John Mullin and DePaul Niche Reporting Summer Session One class, this one's for you. Enjoy!
Moon Peep Bars
Serves 15
Total Cost - $13.85 (appox. $.93/person)
1 cup smooth or chunky peanut butter
1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, melted
1 cup powdered sugar
2 cups graham cracker crumbs
2 cups chocolate chips, melted
15 marshmallow Peeps
1/2 cup toasted shredded coconut
Line a 9x9 (or 8x8) pan with aluminum foil, have enough foil to leave about an inch overhang on each side.
In the microwave melt the butter. Stir in the peanut butter, powdered sugar and graham cracker crumbs. Pour the mixture into the foil lined pan. Place in the refrigerator for at least an hour until the crust is set.
When the crust has set, melt the chocolate chips in the microwave in 30 second intervals until melted. Stir and pour to cover the peanut graham crust. Spread and smooth out the surface of the melted chocolate with a rubber spatula.
While the chocolate is still hot place the Peeps onto the bars. Sprinkle with the toasted coconut and let the bars set, they can be put back in the refrigerator to speed it along. Cut and serve.
