Peanut Butter Treats

November 20

From Company’s Coming for Christmas

1/2 cup butter
1 cup smooth peanut butter
1 cup graham cracker crumbs
2 cups icing sugar
1/3 cup chopped walnuts

Heat and stir butter and peanut butter in large saucepan until smooth.

Add graham crumbs, icing sugar and walnuts. Mix well. Press into ungreased 8 x 8 inch pan.

Icing:
1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
3 tablespoon butter

Heat and stir chocolate chips and butter in saucepan on low until smooth. Spread over top. Let stand until set. Cuts into 25 squares.

Notes:
Doubled this into a 9 x 13 pan and I wish I had quadrupled it! Should have known the combination of peanut butter and chocolate would be heavenly. It is.

The dough was hard to mix. After adding the sugar and walnuts to the melted peanut butter/butter mixture, I ditched the rubber spatula – especially after I broke it – and hand mixed the graham crumbs into the mixture. Very worth it though as it comes out so rich. Might want to remember to cut smaller pieces to savour every crumb.

Oh, and I’m going to remember this icing recipe for future use on brownies as well!

  • "Love anything and your heart will be wrung and possibly broken. If you want to make sure of keeping it intact you must give it to no one, not even an animal. Wrap it carefully round with hobbies and little luxuries; avoid all entanglements. Lock it up safe in the casket or coffin of your selfishness. But in that casket, safe, dark, motionless, airless, it will change. It will not be broken; it will become unbreakable, impenetrable, irredeemable. To love is to be vulnerable." — C.S. Lewis
