PEANUT BUTTER TREATS

These ROCK! They taste just like Reese's Peanut Butter Cups, but made with darker chocolate. Try to share with others, if you can.

HERE'S ALL IT TAKES

peanut butter filling

4 tablespoons butter, melted

1/3 cup dark brown sugar

1 1/2 cups smooth peanut butter

2 scant cups powdered sugar

chocolate topping

1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

1 tablespoon butter

In a medium bowl, mix the melted butter with the brown sugar, peanut butter and powdered sugar.

Spoon the mixture into a 8-inch by 8-inch baking pan. Spread it out evenly as you can. Press it down firmly on top with a spatula. It doesn't have to be pretty, you're going to cover it with chocolate.

In another small bowl, add the chocolate chips and 1 tablespoon butter. Melt the chocolate in the microwave at 70% power for 1 minute. Remove bowl from microwave and stir gently until all the chips have melted and chocolate is smooth. If you still have a few unmelted chips, put the bowl back in the microwave. Set to 70% again, for 10 to 20 seconds. That should do it for you.

Spread the chocolate over the peanut butter mixture. Let it chill until it has set but is still soft enough to cut.

Cut the mixture into squares and remove them fro the baking pan, then put them back in the refrigerator to finish setting.
