Chocolate Peanut Butter Squares
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.
"My family has been making this recipe for years as a christmas candy... we make the peanutbutter part and roll it in to balls then dip in melted chocolate chips. Let cool and harden on wax papper... then you have peanutbutter balls!! They are super delicious a true pb and chocolate lovers dream!! Never thought of spreading it in a pan and serving like bars... thanks for the neat idea!" - tripletmamaYield: 24 Servings Ready in 1 hours

Notes Chocolate Peanut Butter Squares Preparation
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.

These are fantastic! Tastes just like a Reece's peanut butter cup and they are so quick and easy to make. They freeze wonderfully and actually taste better frozen in my opinion. Will definitely be making again and again :)

Amazing result with so little effort! I wanted to make something new with what I had on hand and these were perfect! Dough is very stiff and I did lightly grease my hands to make it easier to work with. Taste? OMG was everyones comment! Keep posting..your stuff is great! Thanks

Absolutely delicious and very easy to make. They actually taste just like Reece's. I suggest freezing the peanut butter layer while you melt the chocolate, then pouring on the chocolate and freezing for 10 minutes. One the chocolate starts to solidify but is still soft, cut into squares. This helps cut perfect lines once it's completely solid.

Back when I was in school they called them Magic Squares. Everyone loved when these were on the menu. Thank you for reminding me of a wonderful, nostalgic dessert.

Must've done something wrong because I couldn't get the mixture to stay in the pan. Too sticky. They taste good though.
