I love to bake and…I cannot say no; these are my two biggest weaknesses, but my inability to say no sometimes has negative repercussions. At least baking is somewhat safe.My roommates used to claim sickness (probably feigned sickness) and would give me the puppy eyes as they asked for something chocolate-y. Of course, I would give in…and this is the result: Chocolate Peanut Squares.
They are a little rich, but who can resist chocolate and peanut butter combined! Plus, they are super easy to make and require no baking in the oven which brings down the wait time and increases the smiles on faces. Mission accomplished!
In a large bowl, combine 2 cups powdered sugar, 3/4 cup peanut butter, 2/3 cup crushed graham crackers, and 1/2 cup melted butter (1 stick). Spread into a 9-inch square pan that has been lined with foil and lightly buttered (easy clean-up).
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine 2/3 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips, 4 tsp. creamy peanut butter, 1/2 tsp. butter. Heat until melted. Spread over peanut butter layer…you can even create a design or write a word after you spread the chocolate! Refrigerate for about 30 minutes until cool. Using the foil, lift out of pan and cut into squares. Store leftovers (if there are any!) in the refrigerator.
