Yield 64

Number Of Ingredients 10

1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
1/4 cup butter or margarine, softened

1/2 teaspoon vanilla

1 bag (12 oz) semisweet chocolate chips (2 cups)
1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon shortening
1/2 cup powdered sugar
2 tablespoons creamy peanut butter
About 1 tablespoon milk

Steps:

  • Line 8- or 9-inch square pan with foil, leaving 1 inch of foil overhanging at 2 opposite sides of pan. Grease foil with butter.
  • In medium bowl, mix 1/2 cup peanut butter, the butter, peanuts and vanilla. Stir in 2 cups powdered sugar, 1/2 cup at a time, until stiff dough forms.
