The first step to make these Peanut Butter Cup Squares was to melt some butter in the microwave on low.

Then I mixed in some gluten free graham crumbs.

Next I  stirred in peanut butter and some icing sugar.

I stirred until all the ingredients were well combined.

After stirring I scraped the mixture into a 9″ x 13″ baking pan. 

I spread the mixture out evenly in the pan.

Then I melted some chocolate chips in the microwave on medium power for a few seconds at a time.  When soft enough stir until all the chips are melted.

Next I scraped the melted chocolate on top of the peanut butter mixture in the baking pan.

I used a spatula to spread the chocolate out evenly to the edges.

Then I let the squares chill until set.  You could wait about half an hour  or even until the next day depending on when you want to serve them up.

Once set and time to serve, I removed them from the fridge and used a hot knife to score them.  Then I let them sit out until I could slice through the chocolate without breaking it up.  About 30 minutes.

Serve them up after a meal or add them to a dessert tray for any gathering.

It is hard to eat just one of these decadent Peanut Butter Cup Squares.

Enjoy every tasty mouthful of this popular flavour combination!
