Peanut Butter Cup Squares
Instructions
1. Melt 1 stick of butter in a saucepan.
2. Add 1 1/2 cups smooth peanut butter, and melt it with the butter over low heat.
3. Remove from heat, and stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla and 2 cups of confectioner's sugar.
4. Blend completely, and then pour into a 9-inch by 9-inch pan (glass or metal). (I used a 7-inch by 10-inch Teflon-coated pan.)
5. Spread the peanut butter blend evenly in the pan to get to all corners and sides at the same level.
6. Melt 6 oz. milk chocolate morsels in a double boiler (or in a small pan over low heat).
7. Spread the melted chocolate evenly over the peanut butter blend.
8. Let stand at room temperature several hours to cool. Do not refrigerate.
9. When the chocolate has set up appropriately, cut your peanut butter cups into squares and place on a pretty serving dish. I like to make the squares fairly small (about 3/4-inch by 3/4-inch).
