Chocolate Peanut Butter Squares Recipe

Ingredients:

• 1 cup (250 ml) peanut butter
• 3/4 cup (170 g) unsalted butter
• 2 cups (200 g) powdered sugar
• 3 cups (270 g) crushed graham crackers or digestive biscuits
• 1 1/2 cups (270 g) semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions:

1. Prepare the base:
   • In a medium saucepan, melt the peanut butter with the butter over low heat, stirring until smooth.
   • Remove from heat and stir in the powdered sugar and crushed graham crackers until well mixed.
   • Press the mixture evenly into a greased 9×13 inch (23×33 cm) baking pan.
2. Melt the chocolate:
   • In a separate bowl, melt the chocolate chips in the microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring after each interval until smooth and fully melted.
3. Assemble:
   • Spread the melted chocolate evenly over the peanut butter layer.
   • Refrigerate for at least one hour or until the chocolate sets.
4. Cut into squares:
   • Once set, cut into squares using a sharp knife. For cleaner cuts, you may heat the knife under hot water and then dry it before cutting.
