Ingredients

  • 2 cups milk or dark chocolate (compound, couverture, or baking chips)
  • 2 cups peanut butter chips
  • 1 ⅓ cup peanut butter separated into ⅓ cup portions
  • Optional Toppings: peanuts, sprinkles, chocolate crips pearls

Instructions

1

Prepare a 8x8 or 9x9 baking sheet with parchment paper.

2

In a microwave safe bowl, start melting chocolate layer by warming up 1 cup milk or dark chocolate with ⅓ cup peanut butter in microwave for 30 seconds at a time, stirring in-between rounds until smooth. Spread into bottom of pan, tap on the counter to smooth, and let cool (don’t let set for too long and don’t put in the fridge).

3

Melt peanut butter chips and ⅔ cup peanut butter. When the first layer is set, but not cold, quickly spread peanut butter layer on top, tap on the counter to smooth, and let cool.

4

Melt final cup of chocolate with ⅓ cup peanut butter. Spread over peanut butter layer and sprinkle with toppings of your choice.

5

All for all layers to fully set. Cut and serve.

Note: You can use whatever chocolate you like or what you have on hand. Because you are mixing the chocolate with the peanut butter it does not require tempering.
