Preparation

  • In a mixer or a food processor, combine the first four ingredients until smooth. Spread into a 13x9 baking pan.
  • For the topping, melt the chocolate and peanut butter together in the microwave for 1 minute. Stir. If not completely melted, heat in 10 second intervals until smooth. Spread over the top of the peanut butter layer.
  • Chill dessert in the refrigerator for about an hour, or in the freezer for 15 minutes. Cut into bars and serve.

Notes

You can use a hand mixer or even a blender if you don't have a food processor. This recipe uses semi sweet chocolate for the topping, but you can substitute milk chocolate for a sweeter flavor.
