Peanut Butter Squares

No oven is required! These suares are sooo addictive; they have a lovely peanut flavor and a crunchy texture. If you want to take them to the next level, sprinkle with sprinkles, chopped nuts or something else yummy over the chocolate before it hardens.

Store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator with parchment paper in between and they will last for two weeks. You can also frezze them for up to two months.
