If you're a fan of peanut butter cups, you'll enjoy these two-layer treats. A slightly crunchy graham cracker and peanut butter layer is topped with a smooth coating of melted chocolate chips and peanut butter. Yum! -Nicole Trudell Fort Langley, British Columbia

I have made these for large gatherings, and everyone loves them. Very easy, and they're especially great in summertime, because there's no baking to heat up the kitchen!
