Chocolate Peanut Butter Bars
Chocolate peanut butter bars are a fun treat to make.
I made these bars the other day by using my Aunt's peanut butter ball recipe. After I cut the recipe in half, I changed a few things and they turned out great.
The only thing I didn't cut in half was the wax, so the chocolate coating was a little hard. When I went to cut them, the chocolate just broke. They still turned out delicious and everyone loved them.
I also melted some red wafers and drizzled it on top. Just to add a little decoration to it. It looked pretty good until I got cared away with trying new things. I tried to use a stencil to make some hearts on the cake with the melted red wafers and it didn't work. I also melted some pink wafers and tried using a stencil and again it didn't turn out like I would have hoped. The picture at the bottom of the page shows the end result, but I had fun trying!
Next time I will stick to using sprinkles with the stencils.
Preparation:
You will need a large mixing bowl, a large spoon for mixing, double boiler or a bowl and sauce pan, a 9x13 baking dish, and an air tight container.
Grease or spray with non-stick spray, the baking dish and set aside.
Gather Your Ingredients:
Make sure you have everything before you begin.
Base:
- 2 cups peanut butter
- 1 cup butter, softened
- 4 cups icing sugar
Coating:
- 1 cup semisweet chocolate (you can also use peanut butter chips instead of the chocolate chips)
- 1/4 bar paraffin wax
Creating Your Chocolate Peanut Butter Bars Masterpiece:
- Cream the peanut butter and butter together until well blended
- Add the sugar a little at a time, making sure it is well mixed.
- Put mixture in the greased dish and press down to smooth it out. Make sure to go into the corners.
- Melt chocolate and wax in double boiler or a bowl over a pan of simmering water, until completely melted. Careful not to over cook the chocolate.
- Add it to the peanut butter mixture, spreading it to completely cover the base.
Store your creation in your fridge in an air tight container and they should last a could weeks.
