This is one of my childhood favorites. A layer of creamy sweet peanut butter topped with a layer of chocolate, remniscent of Reese's peanut butter cups. These squares are quick and simple to make, and are so yummy and addictive! They also freeze well.

Chocolate Peanut Butter Squares Ingredients

1 cup (2 sticks) butter, divided	3 cups powdered (confectioner's) sugar
2 cups creamy peanut butter	2 cups (12 oz) semi-sweet chocolate chips
1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs

Instructions for Chocolate Peanut Butter Squares

Melt 1/2 cup (1 stick) of the butter in medium saucepan over low heat. Remove from heat and stir in peanut butter, confectioner's sugar, and graham cracker crumbs. This will make a stiff dough.

Spread dough in a lightly greased 9- by 13-inch dish. Press down evenly.

Melt remaining 1/2 cup butter over low heat. Add chocolate chips and keep heat very low. When chocolate is soft, stir gently. Continue heating until lumps are all melted. Stir, and then spread this mixture over the peanut butter layer.

Refrigerate for 30 minutes, then cut into squares. Store in the refrigerator.

This is a great, easy, kid friendly recipe! My young nieces made these tasty treats for the first time and where very pleased with the results they achieved (their results can be seen in the 2nd recipe image).
