- 1 lb powdered sugar, 3 1/2 cups
For chocolate topping
- 4 cups chocolate chips, divided
- 4 Tbsp margarine, divided
Directions
Layer 1
- Melt in microwave 2 cups chocolate chip with 2 Tbsp margarine. Stir well then spread into 9X13 pan. Chill 15 minutes.
Layer 2
- Melt together in microwave peanut butter and 2 sticks butter. Add powdered sugar and mix well. Spread on top of chocolate layer. Chill 15 minutes.
Layer 3
- Melt in microwave 2 cups chocolate chip with 2 Tbsp margarine. Stir well then spread on top of peanut butter layer. Chill until firm.
Notes
- Use high-quality peanut butter brand like Jif or Skippy. Natural peanut butter does not work well for this recipe. Peanut butter filling can be shaped into balls or eggs before dipping in melted chocolate.
- You may omit the bottom layer of chocolate on these bars.
- Coconut oil may be used in place of the margarine in the chocolate. This extra fat will help the chocolate melt smoother and it'll be less likely to seize up when heating.
