I have an uncle who considers peanut butter its own food group. I don’t remember a time that there hasn’t been the option of peanut butter and crackers at his house, which can really hit the spot sometimes. So the other day for my uncles birthday, I made him these peanut butter squares that I had seen a while ago. Let me just say, these are everything I want in a dessert. Little bite of heaven. To top it off, they were really easy (coming together quickly, with only a few ingredients).
Peanut Butter Squares
Tate’s Bake Shop Cookbook Seen on Fake Ginger
Ingredients:
- 3/4 cup firmly packed dark or light brown sugar
- 3 cups powdered sugar
- 1/2 cup salted butter, softened
- 2 cups smooth peanut butter
- 2 cups semisweet chocolate chips
- 1 tablespoon salted butter
Preparation:
In a large bowl, combine the brown sugar, powdered sugar, butter, and peanut butter, and beat them with an electric mixer until they are smooth and well blended. Pat into an ungreased 15 1/2 x 10 1/2 x 1-inch pan. Roll the mixture flat on top with a rolling pin.
Melt the chocolate chips and butter on top of a double boiler or in the microwave. Spread the chocolate mixture over the peanut butter mixture and cut into squares while the chocolate is still warm and soft.
Chill the mixture for about 15 minutes and remove the squares from the pan.

My name is Kita. I am a 20 something girl geek and website/graphic designer who can rock an apron like there is no tomorrow.
I’m not sure if we’re allowed to enter twice or not, but I just wanted to share one more quick dessert that I make. Maple pull-aparts. They are totally unhealthy but they only take about 15 minutes and they are a quick vegan fix to a cinnabon craving. If anyone wants the recipe, they can email me. =^)
I might be one of those people who thinks peanut butter is its own food group too
These bars look delicious! I love making rice krispies and adding pb (of course) and chocolate frosting as a quick dessert. They’re always a hit!
Ahh these look so good! I want them right NOW!
Oh, I missed your first giveaway! What a good one, great work
Peanut Butter makes everything better.
Thanks for sharing – can’t wait to whip these up.
Smores!!!
yum these look great!! my fave quick dessert is picking a brownie from my freezer and microwaving it
but as far as making it, it would probably be 30 second microwave chocolate cake if i HAVE to have instant gratification!!
