First Post. Private. Please.




Had my last Butterfinger from the box Radish sent today. Woe. Because I am a hopeless addict and looking for replacements already, I made these:


Creamy Peanut Butter Chocolate Bars Squares

Crust:
8 medium size butter or chocolate chip cookies
1/4 cup salted butter, melted

Chocolate Layers:
2 1/2 cups (15 oz,) milk chocolate chips

Peanut Butter Filling:
1 1/2 cups creamy peanut butter
1/2 cup salted butter, softened
3 cups confectioners' sugar (icing sugar)
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract

Preheat oven to 325 f./163C

In food processor or blender process cookies until finely ground. Add melted butter and mix together completely. Press crumb mixture into bottom of 8"x8" (I have no idea what this is in metric, because I was lazy and fudged it) baking pan and bake 10 minutes. Cool to room temperature.

Melt chocolate in double boiler over slightly simmering water. Or microwave the chocolate, stirring every 30 seconds until completely melted. Pour half of the melted chocolate into pan and smooth evenly over crust. Place pan in refrigerator. Keep remaining chocolate warm.

Blend peanut butter and butter together until smooth using a food processor or electric mixer. Slowly beat in icing sugar and then add the vanilla. Beat until smooth. Spread peanut butter filling over the chilled chocolate layer. Finish by pouring the remaining warm chocolate over filling and spreading smooth. Chill in refrigerator one hour or until firm. Cut into bars and serve. Yield 24-36 bars. <-- LIES! I got 16 squares.

I, also have been sadly addicted. And also to butterfingers.

Glad to share the love! *chomps on a peanut butter square*
