Peanut Butter Squares
Our mouth-watering peanut butter squares are smooth, rich, and creamy–these are the ultimate peanut butter and chocolate treat!
The Backstory: If you’re a fan of the classic chocolate-peanut butter combo, (and let’s face it, who isn’t?) you can thank my lovely friend, Lisa Dunne for this finger-licking recipe for peanut butter squares! Lisa is a fabulous cook, fellow Temple Emanuel and Sisterhood member, and one of the very first people I met when I moved to Andover, Massachusetts in the mid 2000s. This recipe was originally published in the Temple’s Sisterhood cookbook, From Bubbie’s Blintzes To Our Gourmet Dishes, back in 2006, and I’m so grateful to Lisa for permission to share it with you here. More of the Backstory after the recipe…
