Peanut Butter Treats
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!
