EditTips

  • Spray an 11 x 7-inch (biscuit pan) with nonstick cooking spray. Follow the recipe except spoon the peanut butter mixture into the bottom of the pan. Top with the melted chocolate. Chill. Cut into bars and serve. This makes a quick and easy version of the "candy". Make sure to serve this chilled as the bars become too soft when served warm.
