Peanut Butter Chocolate Squares

Total Time: 30 mins Preparation Time: 30 mins

Ingredients

• 12 ounces chocolate chips, the best you can find
• 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
• 1/4 cup dark brown sugar
• 1 1/3 cups icing sugar
• 1/4 cup unsalted butter
• 7/8 cup creamy peanut butter

Recipe

• 1 grease a 9x9 inch pan.
• 2 place the chocolate chips and butter into a microwave safe bowl and melt completely. set aside.
• 3 in a medium bowl, combine all the remaining ingredients for the peanut butter base. mix until smooth. the mixture will have a slightly sandy texture. don’t worry about small lumps in the brown sugar. press evenly into the prepared pan.
• 4 spread the melted chocolate mixture evenly over the base. allow to cool, but before they are completely cool, cut into 36 pieces. if you wait too long the chocolate will crack unevenly rather than making nice squares. of course i just eat the ugly ones and make a new batch -- .
