Ingredients

  • 3/4 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 2 tablespoons butter melted
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 16 ounces chocolate Candiquik or Almond Bark or Candy Melts
  • 1/2 cup finely chopped peanuts

Instructions

  • Start by lining your 9x9-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang on the sides for easy removal later.
  • In a mixing bowl, combine the creamy peanut butter, melted butter, vanilla extract, and powdered sugar. Mix until well-combined.
  • Transfer the peanut butter mixture to the prepared baking pan and spread it evenly across the bottom.
  • In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the chocolate Candiquik or Almond Bark according to the package instructions, stirring every 30 seconds until smooth.
  • Pour the melted chocolate over the peanut butter layer in the baking pan and spread it evenly.
  • Sprinkle the finely chopped peanuts evenly over the top before the chocolate sets.
  • Place the baking pan in the refrigerator and let the bars chill for at least 2 hours or until the chocolate is fully set.
  • Once the chocolate is firm, lift the bars out of the pan using the parchment paper overhang and cut them into squares.
