Peanut Butter Squares

By far one of the simplest and easiest recipes. Five ingredients, four if you omit the shredded coconut. Peanut butter and chocolate, what more needs to be said.  

Peanut Butter Squares

-----------------------------------------------------------

1 cup Crunchy Peanut Butter

1/3 cup shredded coconut, optional

1/2 cup white sugar

1 egg

2 oz Baker's Semi Sweet Chocolate, finely chopped

Preheat oven to 325ºF. Line the bottom of a 8x8 square baking tin with baking parchment.

In a large bowl mix the peanut butter, shredded coconut, sugar and egg until well blended.

Spread into the prepared square baking tin. I found after spooning the mixture into the tin, I used clean hands to evenly pack the mixture down. Sprinkle with the finely chopped chocolate. Bake for 20 minutes. Cool completely before cutting into squares. 

Hope everyone is doing well and staying safe. - JD
