Reese's Peanut Butter Squares

Two weeks ago, I made some delicious peanut butter squares. I even doubled the recipe, hoping that we'd have them around for a while. No such luck, they were gone by the middle of last week!


If you want to make one batch of these treats yourself you will need: 

  • One 9x13 baking dish
  • 1 cup peanut butter (all natural is best)
  • 1 cup butter
  • 2 3/4 cup powdered sugar
  • 2 1/2 cup graham cracker crumbs (try not to get the honey flavoured ones as they will alter the taste)
  • 1 package of milk chocolate Chipits
Begin by mixing sugar and crumbs in a large bowl.  



Melt butter in microwave and pour onto crumb mixture. Add peanut butter and stir. I find that a final mix with my hands always does the trick!



Once everything is thoroughly mixed, press it into your pan. 

I had two pans because I doubled the recipe. 
Next, melt your chocolate chips. I find the easiest way to do it is to microwave them for 20-30 seconds at a time, stirring in between each zap. Once the chips are all melted, spread them evenly onto the peanut butter mixture.


Let the chocolate set for 30 minutes to an hour, but make sure you cut your squares before the chocolate has totally hardened.


Voila! Enjoy :)
