Chocolate peanut butter slice

My ALL TIME favourite chocolate peanut butter slice at the moment – I just can’t get enough of it.  This doesn’t last in our house much longer than a day or two, which is why I often will only make a half-batch.  Because I know I will eat it, and continue eating it.  This was from allrecipes.com – looking for no-bake slices.  The photo shows that I didn’t quite mix in the icing sugar enough – the peanut butter part of it is quite dry and I just didn’t have the elbow muscles to get it thoroughly blended.  Still tastes good, though!

This is my favourite, until I find a recipe with the texture and taste that I have in my head … (see here for a contender!)

Chocolate peanut butter slice

Ingredients

• 125 g butter
• 1/2 cup 90g packed brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla essence
• 2 cups 500g peanut butter
• 2 1/2 cups 500g icing sugar
• 2 cups 360g dark chocolate chips

Instructions

1. Melt butter over low heat. Add sugars, peanut butter and vanilla. Mix well.
2. Press into a 23 x 33 cm tin.
3. Melt chocolate chips and spread over the top. Cool. Cut into squares.

 Suggestions:

• If you put the melted chocolate on the bottom of the pan (or in muffin tins) then the peanut butter part on top, it’s almost like a Reece’s peanut butter cup.
• I’ve also topped the slice (with chocolate on the bottom) with white chocolate fudge using this recipe – that was divine!
• I’ve tried to make this into my ultimate slice, by cooking the flourless peanut butter cookies and processing with some melted butter for the base.  I don’t think I used enough butter as it was too crumbly, but very tasty, nonetheless.
