Chocolate Peanut Butter Squares

The other day I was in the mood to bake. its was 8pm on a saturday night. Man i live an exciting life! But i wanted something quick and easy... these look difficult but its not. I got this from Rachael Ray. So you know its not that difficult!



  • 6 ounces semisweet chocolate, chopped

  • 2 sticks (8 ounces) plus 1 tablespoon unsalted butter

  • One 16-ounce jar creamy peanut butter

  • 3 cups crispy rice cereal

  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

  • 3 cups confectioners' sugar



  • Line an 8-inch square baking pan with parchment paper. In a medium saucepan, melt half of the chocolate and 1 tablespoon butter over low heat. Remove from the heat; stir in 1 cup peanut butter, then 2 cups rice cereal. Spread the mixture evenly in the prepared pan; refrigerate until set, about 15 minutes. Wash out the saucepan.  

    In the saucepan, combine the remaining 2 sticks butter and the salt; melt over medium heat, stirring. Remove from the heat and stir in the remaining peanut butter and the confectioners' sugar. Spread half of the peanut butter mixture over the cereal layer. Top with the remaining 1 cup cereal.  

    In a small bowl, microwave the remaining chocolate at medium power until melted, 1 1/2 minutes. Stir into the remaining peanut butter mixture. Spread evenly on the cereal-topped peanut butter layer; refrigerate until set, about 45 minutes. Cut into 16 pieces.
