No-Bake Chocolate Peanut Butter Squares

Preparation:

You will need a medium mixing bowl, a one plus 1/2 cup measuring cup, a tablespoon, a spoon, knife and scapula, an 8 or 9 inch square pan or 9x13 inch baking dish and an air tight container to store them in.

Gather Your Ingredients:

Make sure you have everything before you begin.

• 1 cup butter or margarine, melted
• 2 cups Oreo crumb*
• 2 cups icing sugar
• 1 cup peanut butter
• 1 1/2 cups semisweet chocolate chips
• 1/2 cup peanut butter chips
• 4 tablespoons peanut butter
• Peanut butter wafers (optional)

*If you don't have Oreo crumbs you can make them by crushing about 24 Oreo cookies, leave out the middle if you prefer. To crush them, I put them in a freezer bag and use a rolling pin to crush them.

Creating Your Chocolate Peanut Butter Squares Masterpiece:

1. In a medium bowl, mix together the butter, Oreo crumbs, icing sugar, and the peanut butter until well blended. Press evenly into the bottom of an ungreased 8 or 9 inch square pan or a 9x13 inch baking dish.
2. In a metal bowl over simmering water, or in the microwave, melt the chocolate and peanut butter chips with the peanut butter, stirring occasionally until smooth. Spread over the prepared crust.
3. This step is optional, drizzle melted peanut butter wafers over squares and using a knife, swirl it around for a marble effect.
4. Refrigerate for at least one hour before cutting into squares.

Store in an air tight container in the fridge and they should last a couple of weeks.
