Peanut Butter Squares

for the base:

quarter cup brown sugar

1 and three quarter cups powdered sugar

half stick unsalted butter

three quarters cup smooth peanut butter


for the topping:

7oz milk chocolate

3oz semi-sweet chocolate

1 tablespoon unsalted butter

1 x 9 inch square brownie tin, lined, preferably, with Silpat



Stir all the ingredients for the base together until smooth. I use the paddle attachment to my mixer but a bowl and a wooden spoon will do the job just as well. Press the sandy mixture into the lined brownie tin and make the surface as even as possible.

To make the topping, melt the chocolates and butter together (in a microwave for ease, for a minute or two on medium) and spread on the base. Put the tin in the fridge to set. When the chocolate has hardened, cut into small squares.

Makes approximately 48.
