My husband had a cookbook when he went away to college called "Where's Mom Now That I Need Her?" This recipe was in that book. I've modified it very slightly over the years and it's always been a favorite around here. The original recipe may have even been called something else (Peanut Butter Cups?) and it called for a chocolate bar or chocolate chips to be spread over the top, but we leave the chocolate off. This is not a smooth fudge - there's definitely a texture from the graham cracker crumbs - but it tastes so good!
4 whole graham crackers, crushed½ c. butter or margarine
1 c. peanut butter
½ lb. powdered sugar (2 c.)
Crush graham crackers and set aside. In a large saucepan, slowly melt butter over low heat (or melt in a glass bowl in the microwave). Remove from heat and stir in crushed graham crackers, peanut butter, and powdered sugar. (I use a fork to mash everything together as it gets pretty thick!) Mix thoroughly. Press into an 8-inch square pan. Let cool. Cut into small squares.
