Peanut Butter Treats

• 4 tablespoons butter
• 1/3 cup dark brown sugar
• 8.5 oz. smooth peanut butter
• 1 3/4 cup confectioner's sugar
• 1 cup chocolate chips
• 1 tablespoon butter

Melt the butter in a saucepan. Mix it in a bowl with the brown sugar, peanut butter and confectioner's sugar. Spoon the mixture into an 8 x 8 baking pan and spread it out evenly. Press it down firmly on top with a butter knife---or let the kids pat it down with their hands like we do....just don't offer any to people outside the family. :)

Melt the chocolate chips along with the remaining 1 tbsp. butter. Spread the chocolate over the peanut butter mixture. Let it chill until it has set but is still soft enough to cut. When ready, cut into squares and remove them from the bakind pan, then put them in the refrigerator to finish setting. Oh so yummy.....reminds you of a reeses cup, but better. :)
