This is my family's favorite candy for the last 4 years since we discovered the recipe. My kids think it tastes like Twix bars, the woman that submitted the recipe said it reminds her of Kit Kat bars. They are just SO yummy, and easy, and for a candy, they don't take long to make. The original recipe comes from the Taste of Home annual recipe book for 1996. Merry Christmas!
Homemade Candy Bars
1 c. butter or margarine
1/2 c. milk
2 c. graham cracker crumbs
1 c. packed brown sugar
1/3 c. sugar
2/3 c. creamy peanut butter
1/2 c. chocolate chips (it calls for milk, I like semi-sweet; your preference)
1/2 c. butterscotch chips
In an ungreased 9x13, lay out a layer of crackers close together. In a saucepan over medium high heat, melt the butter. Add milk, graham cracker crumbs and both sugars; bring to a boil. Boil, stirring constantly for 5 minutes. pour half the mixture over the layer of crackers, carefully spreading to cover. Make a second layer of crackers on top. Spread with remaining sugar mixture. Top with a third layer of crackers. In a microwave safe container, place peanut butter and both kinds of chips. Microwave for 1 min. and stir, repeating until the mixture is smooth. Spread over crackers. Chill until firm, about 1 hour. Cut into small squares. Yield 3-4 dozen.
Notes: I used Great Value brand buttery smooth club crackers.
