Easy pleasing peanut butter squares



So these are a fine square if I do say so myself.
Rich, but lovely. Perfect for an outing or event, and the easiest yet!!
I Promise.
If you're a fan of reeses peanut butter cups, then you will love these.
A friend of mine, Sonya, who I grew up with used to make something like these. This was something we always made when we were little and had sleep overs at her house.
We'd grab some muffin tins, melt some chocolate chips, freeze em, add some peanut butter, freeze em, and then add some chocolate chips again,
and there they be!
What kid wouldn't love that?

It was always a treat to sleep at Sonya's house.
At my house, when I'd have friends over, my parents offered us carrot sticks and cheese. Goodie.
My friends loved coming to my house.

It's a very simple recipe, all you is need peanut butter, icing sugar, butter, peanuts, and chocolate chips!
Scrumptious :)
