In a large bowl, mix the powdered sugar, margarine, 1 cup peanut butter, and vanilla. Stir in the cracker crumbs and peanuts. Press mixture into the pan.

Over low heat put & stir together the chocolate chips and peanut butter until smooth. Spread over the mixture in the pan. Cover and refrigerate about an hour or until the chocolate is set. Remove from the pan and cut the bars into 36 squares. Refrigerate uncovered about 2 hours or until firm.

SHORTBREAD COOKIES

½ c. powdered sugar
1 c. butter
1 ½ c. flour


Using an electric mixer, beat all ingredients until smooth & creamy. Drop by small spoonfuls onto an ungreased baking sheet. Bake at 300 F for 20 minutes. Remove to a wire rack to cool.


**for variations, try adding toffee bits, crushed peppermints, nuts, mini chocolate chips, etc. before baking.

I love how easily they can be changed up with different flavors by adding stuff into the dough.

Medako, I like to make chocolate shortbread by adding a couple of tablespoons of cocoa powder. They are so rich and delicious!
