Peanut butter squares recipe

 Hey readers, 

Check out these simple, easy sweet delicious peanut butter squares for everyone to enjoy. 

Ingredients

* 150g/5½oz butter. 

* 200g/7oz dark chocolate (at least 60% cocoa solids) or milk chocolate (or a mixture of both). 

* 250g/9oz digestive biscuits. 

* 200g/7oz soft light brown sugar. 

* 300g/10½oz crunchy peanut butter. 

* 1 tsp vanilla extract. 

Method. 

1. Baking parchment should be used to line a 20cm/8 square pan, with some extra paper hanging over the sides (this makes it easier to lift out once set).

2. Butter should be melted in a sizable pan over low heat.

3. Put the chocolate in a shallow bowl after cutting it into squares. Melt the bowl over a pan of hot water or in the microwave in 30-second bursts, stirring thoroughly in between each addition. 

To avoid the chocolate "seizing" and becoming extremely gritty and stiff, ensure the bottom of the pan does not come in contact with the water.

4. Brown sugar and digestive biscuits should be blended or processed into fine crumbs. Insert them into the melted butter. 

Once everything is thoroughly blended, add the vanilla essence and peanut butter.

5. Pour the mixture into the lined baking pan and firmly push it down with the back of the spoon.

 It must be minimal and tiny. Once the chocolate has melted, pour it on top, tilting the tin slightly to ensure a uniform coating. 

Place for 30 minutes in the freezer to firm up (or in the fridge for an hour).

6. Take the chocolate out of the freezer once it has hardened (or fridge). With the aid of the baking parchment, please remove it from the tin. 

Please take off the paper, cut it into 16 squares with a sharp knife, and serve.
