Oh my goodness. Yum. I followed the modifications suggested above by jecarl (thickened peanut butter with more sugar and increased butter in chocolate layer) and they came out lovely. Thanks all!

These are excellent!! I found that they were best when chilled. Somewhat resembled a candy bar. To say that this will serve 24 is pushing it a little, unless your squares are itty-bitty… makes about 16 small squares from an 8×8 pan.

Excellent! Super rich chocolate and peanut buttery goodness. I only had peanuts on hand and it turned out great. I agree the peanut butter layer was more fluid than paste-y, but I added a bit more powdered sugar to thicken it up. Also had to add 3 to 4 times the amount of butter to the chocolate in order to get a spreadable consistency. They didn’t firm up quickly so refrigerated overnight. Will definitely make again due to the rave reviews from coworkers.

So good! A super rich, super delicious upscale peanut butter cup. I made these to bring to a party and got a ton of compliments.
I had a few issues with preparation, though. The peanut butter layer was quite runny–I had to stick it in the fridge for a while before adding the top layer. Also, I think I overheated my chocolate chips in the microwave because they got really, really thick. I thinned with a couple more tablespoons of butter and had to kind of spread the mixture over the refrigerated peanut butter layer.
Despite these issues, I would definitely make again. So good!

These looks awesome!
But Pink Himalayan Salt?? Not sure my small town local grocery carries that stuff! Will Sea Salt do?

I just had to mention that if you don’t want nuts in the base layer, pretzels are terrific in there! Reduce the salt accordingly though or they area little too salty.

these are super yummy!
I didn’t have all the ingredients so I substituted a few, and I’m so glad they still turned out.
thanks for the great recipe!
