Peanut Butter Bars Recipe

1/4 c. shortening
2/3 c. peanut butter
1 c. granulated sugar
2 eggs
1 c. all-purpose flour
1 c. semi-sweet chocolate chips
2 tbsp. water

Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. Grease a 9" square baking pan. Combine the shortening, peanut butter and sugar in a large mixing bowl. Beat until light and fluffy, about 5 minutes. Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each one. Add the flour and mix well. Spread the batter in your baking pan. Bake for 40 minutes or until center tests done. Remove from oven and let cool.

Melt the chocolate chips in a double boiler with water or in the microwave. Spread the melted chocolate on top of the baked bars. Refrigerate for 1 hour. Cut into bars.
