-------- ------------ --------------------------------
8 Mrs. Fields Chocolate Chip Cookies
5 tablespoons melted butter
3/4 cup peanut butter
1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
1 bag milk chocolate chips -- (12 ounces)

Preheat the oven to 350F degrees. Crumble the cookies into a medium mixing
bowl, add the melted butter; stir until the mixture darkens and the butter is
evenly mixed in. Pour the mixture into an ungreased 9" square baking pan.
Press the dough down solidly into the pan and bake for 10 minutes or until
firm around edges. When done cool in the refrigerator. Mix the peanut
butter and sugar until well blended. The mixture should have a doughly
texture that allows you to knead it with your hands. Melt the chocolate
chips in a double boiler over low heat stirring often. You may also melt
them in a microwave oven setting on HIGH for 2 minutes, stirring halfway
through the heating time. When the dough is cool spread half of the melted
chocolate ovr the surface cool in refrigerator for 20-30 minutes or until
hardened. Spread the peanut butter mixture evenly over the surface of the
chocolate. Spread the remaining chocolate over the peanut butter covering to
the edges of the pan. Cool the finished product in the refrigerator or let
it sit at room temperature until hardened. Slice into 5 even rows and then
once down the middle. Makes 10 bars.
