For the past few days on Twitter I’ve been talking about one of my favorite desserts of all time, Old-Fashioned Peanut Butter Squares. Imagine Reese’s Peanut Butter cups, but better…yes, best. Dessert. Ever.

After several requests and not a little bit of begging, I’m posting the recipe for these wonderfully delicious treats. I warn you now. If you like peanut butter and chocolate, these are incredibly addicting. Truly the best chocolate peanut butter dessert I’ve ever had (and I’ve eaten and baked more than my fair share). This recipe has been in my family forever. I’m not sure where it originally came from or who originally created it, but I owe them a huge debt of gratitude (and they’re probably responsible for at least 20 pounds of my weight =P)

Old-Fashioned Peanut Butter Squares

2 cups crushed graham crackers (I often do an extra 1/4 to 1/2 cup because I like the extra crunch)

2 cups powdered sugar

2 cups peanut butter

1 cup melted margarine or butter (I prefer butter)

1 Lg. Package of Choc. Chips (I tend to use 1 lg. package and then half of another one. More chocolate is never a bad thing!)

Mix first four ingredients in a greased 9 X 13 pan. Melt choc. chips and spread over the top of the mixture. Refrigerate. Cut into squares. And eat. And eat. And eat some more.

   Well, there goes my diet! Reeses P.B. is my favorite candy next to MnM’s. And these look fantastic. Cooking is not my forte, but I’ll have to try this recipe. Can’t resist.
   Thanks for sharing,

   You will love these. They are impossible to resist. I only make these a few times a year otherwise I’d weigh a thousand pounds. So, so tasty! Enjoy!
