Chocolate Peanut Butter Fudgy Squares

"My mom used to make these when I was a kid. They're kind of like a peanut butter fudge with chocolate on top, and so rich you can only eat a tiny bit, which is probably a good thing, because these cannot be healthy."

  1. These were great!!! I added 1 tsp vanilla to the peanut butter and 2 teaspoons of heavy cream to the chocolate. Worked great, but I think next time I'll use milk chocolate as I am not a dark chocolate fan. My whole family enjoyed these. Thanks again.
     
  2. Sinfully good. I added a 1/2 tsp of vanilla. I'll make these again, but hopefully not too soon, as they've already thrown my diet off once!
     
  3. So good!! I'm on a gluten free diet and this was perfect to satisfy my sweet tooth. I cant make it too often b/c i eat the entire thing!
     
  4. If this is an indication of your mother's cooking ability, you must post every recipe she has ever made. These are so good and SO lethal. I completely forgot the brown sugar, but no one cared or noticed. One big change needs to be made -- to the number of servings. I got 64 bite-sized pieces that were plenty big enough given how rich these are. I took them to a work function just to get them out of the house and farther away from my waistline. Made and devoured for Zaar World Tour Zingo.
     
  5. These are downright sinful! I love chocolate & PB - especially dark chocolate! What I like about these - no flour! So I guess they are gluten-free if you use the right kind of PB. Thank you thank you! Easy & absolutely delicious. I will try to freeze some, otherwise they will be eaten too quickly and I don't need those calories!

I work in the lab of a large county hospital. Cooking, particularly exotic ethnic cuisines and fancy desserts is my therapy and stress relief. Being a geeky kind of person, I'm really into the science of food. I'm getting into playing cooking games and contests on 'Zaar. Why not come play with us? It's lots of fun. <img src="http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/projects/200_PACpic.jpg"> <img src="http://i27.photobucket.com/albums/c175/emmyduckie/teambanner1.gif"> <img src="http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y53/DUCHESS13/RSC%20Banners/RSC11-Participant.jpg"> <img src="http://i27.photobucket.com/albums/c175/emmyduckie/babes_banner.gif"> <img src="http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y53/DUCHESS13/RSC%20Banners/RSCParticipationBanner.jpg"> <img src="http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/PACfall08partic.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"> <img src="http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/IWasAdoptedfall08.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"> <img src="http://i250.photobucket.com/albums/gg271/MrsTeny/ParticipationBanner.jpg"border="0" alt="Photobucket"> <img src="http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/Dollar%20Contest/DiningonaDollarParticipant.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"> <img src="http://i250.photobucket.com/albums/gg271/MrsTeny/Permanent%20Collection/PACSpring09Iwasadopted.jpg"> <img src="http://i250.photobucket.com/albums/gg271/MrsTeny/Permanent%20Collection/PACSpring09Participation.jpg"> <img src="http://i27.photobucket.com/albums/c175/emmyduckie/banner2009.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"width=100%> <img src="http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/participantbannerzwt5.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"> <img src="http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/craze-e2banner.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"> <img src="http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/calendar%20clips/3Craze-E.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket">
