Chocolate Peanut Butter Squares

These wee bad boys are amazing! They remind me of Reese’s Pieces and they are divine! They require no cooking and are super easy to make with kids…..enjoy ❤️❤️

Ingredients

150g Butter
200g/7oz Dark Chocolate (at least 60% cocoa solids) or milk chocolate (or a mixture of both)
250g Digestive Biscuits
200g Soft Light Brown Sugar
300g Crunchy Peanut Butter
1 tsp Vanilla Extract
Line a 20cm/8in square tin with baking parchment, leaving some excess paper hanging over the edges (this makes it easier to lift out once set).

Melt the butter in a large pan over a low heat.

Snap the chocolate into squares and throw into a small bowl.
Melt in the microwave in 30 second blasts, stirring well between each addition or sit the bowl over a pan over simmering water. Make sure that the bottom of the pan does not touch the water or the chocolate will go grainy and stiff.

Blitz the digestive biscuits and brown sugar in a blender or food processor to give fine crumbs. Tip them into the melted butter.

Stir in the peanut butter and vanilla extract and mix together so everything is well combined.

Tip the mixture into the lined tin and press it down really hard with the back of the spoon.

Then pour over the melted chocolate, tilting the tin back and forth a bit so that the whole thing is evenly covered.

Pop in the freezer for 30 minutes to firm up (or the fridge for an hour).

Once the chocolate is set, remove it from the freezer (or fridge).

Lift it out of the tin with the help of the baking parchment.

Remove the paper and then use a sharp knife to divide it into squares and serve.
