Chocolate Peanut Butter Squares

If ever a recipe deserved five stars this one is it. A few thoughts, I followed the recipe exactly because I was in a hurry and didn't have time to read the reviews. Wish I had taken the time. Other reviewers are right in you really need more chocolate for the top. Also, maybe because we lived in such a humid area, but I had trouble getting the peanut butter layer spread. I ended up finding a plastic spatula sprayed with Pam worked the best. Next time I will add the additional crumbs to stiffen up the mixture. Also, hands do not work well, even when buttered because they heat up the peanut butter and cause it to release more oil. These are super rich and I cut them into small pieces. I figure I got twice the number the recipe stated. These were super easy, fast, and I will sure keep them in mind for future use. Last though, mine never really set up, so I ended up having to store them in the fridge. Not a huge deal, but a thought if you are planning to take them somewhere.

Very Good! I did follow some other posters and added more graham crumbs (1 3/4c) and cut back on the butter (2tbs) for the topping. Also used used 1 1/2c milk chocolate chips. My husband says they are better than reese's! Thank you! Wanted to edit my review to add that I froze 1/2 of these and you could not tell the difference between the fresh and frozen! I cut them into 1 1/2 in squares wrapped individually in plastic wrap. And placed them a freezer bag.

I have made these peanut butter bars a few times now and they are always a big hit at work. After melting the butter, I add the peanut butter to create a creamy mixture. I combine my graham cracker crumbs and confectioners' sugar together in a separate bowl and then add these dry ingredients to the peanut butter/butter mixture. The ingredients come together much better this way! I agree with using 2 cups of chocolate chips and 1-2 tablespoons of butter for the topping.

This recipe is good - like a square version of buckeye candy - but it needs a lot of alterations! First, make sure your graham crumbs are extra fine (don't crush by hand - use the processor) Second, soften the peanut butter in the microwave before adding and the mixture will spread easier. Third, pour into a cookie sheet or 9x13 pan instead of a jelly roll pan (too thin!). Fourth, double the chocolate in the topping and only add 2 tbls butter (otherwise it's "greasy").

This was easy and excellent. I did what some suggested and added about 1/4 cup more of graham cracker crumbs. Also I added the whole 12 ounce bag of chocolate chips to the melted butter. It coated it perfectly. (Just a side note about the peanut butter, 2 cups is a whole jar of peanut butter plus a heaping tablespoon or two. Very good recipe Lisa. I will be making this again. (I went to work tonight and came home to over half the pan empty...the whole family loved it!)

Incredible for a low-cal dessert! (Just kidding). These bars are great! I used an 11"x17" jellyroll pan. For the topping I used 2 cups of milk chocolate chips and it covered well. Also, no need for 1/2 cup butter in the topping ... just a tablespoon or two will do (even with the increase in choc. chips to two cups). Very good. Will make again.

I've been making these for the past year and can't believe I never took the time to give my review of them to say how fantastic they are! The only change I made was to add more chocolate; to the 1/2 c. of butter I add 1 c. milk choolate chips and 1 c. semi-sweet chocolate chips. That seems to balnce it out perfectly. I have to say, this is probably the BEST recipe I have ever gotten off of this site!

THESE WERE A BIG HIT BOTH AT HOME AND THE OFFICE. I THINK NEXT TIME I'LL PUT CHOCOLATE ON THE BOTTOM AS WELL AND USE LESS FILLING AND FILL MUFFIN CUPS TO MAKE THEM LIKE THE REAL THING. BEST PART IS THEY'RE SO EASY!!

I used 2 cups semi sweet chips and melted with no butter, spread over top and everyone when crazy over them... they are absolutely excellent... i cut them into squares and wrapped them in red foil and put them in baskets with my other homemade candys and these were the biggest hit.. especially with the guys.. everyone loved them.. they are much better than store bought cups! thanks..

Yummy! I made some alterations to this recipe, thanks to the helpful reviewers here. Used 1 and 3/4 cups of graham cracker crumbs, used 1 tbsp of butter for the chocolate topping and 2 cups of milk chocolate chips. I also used natural peanut butter, but that's just my personal preference. Awesome!

This recipe gets 5 stars with the following adjustments. My husband's coworkers have started asking me to make this for them again! After about 3 attempts, my last batch turned out the best. * a 13"by9" pan works great, and mine has a cover so it's easy to store. * use 3 cups of powdered sugar, NOT 4. it's too sweet otherwise. * crunchy peanut butter adds a good texture to the graham layer. * only use 2 tbsps butter and extra chocolate chips for the topping. (I used nearly a full bag) * cut the square soon after making it. it'll settle back and you'll have to cut it again, but the final pieces won't break or fall apart then. * it's delicious but very rich, try cutting small pieces, you can always have two then. *^^* (in my 13by9 pan, I cut 36 pieces.)

I halved the recipe & used a square baking dish. I used less butter & confectioners sugar & a bit more peanut butter. I still used the full amount of chocolate (a whole bag of semisweet baking chips) and just a bit of butter. I really don't think as written you would get a good chocolate layer on top. Everyone likes them, thanks!

This should be called "Chocolate Peanut Butter Crack" it's so addictive. That said, I followed others' advice by: *cutting the sugar down to 3c. *mixing the sugar together with 1 3/4c. graham cracker crumbs first *adding the peanut butter to the melted butter while it was still in the sauce pan on the stove, so that it combined well before adding it to the dry ingredients *pressed the peanut butter mixture into a 9x13" glass pan [lined in foil] by using the back of a metal spoon *melted 1c. milk chocolate chips and 1c. semi-sweet chocolate chips with about 4 tbsp. butter for the topping You cannot eat just one of these.

This is the first recipe I ever made as a child and it's been my favorite for over 12 years! There are a couple of minor changes to my recipe which I think make this complete.... 2 and 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs, and I melt the Peanut Butter WITH the Butter, it makes it MUCH easier to work with! Oh and add 1 more Cup of Choc chips for the top...refrigerate 30 to 60 mins and enjoy! Oh, one more thing, cutting with a plastic knife helps!

Fantastic!! Quick and easy way to make a great treat...try 1 3/4 cups grahm crumbs (one sleeeve) and the entire jar of Peanut Butter. An 18 oz. jar is 2 cups and 2oz. of PB. Just throw it all in to avoid sticky measuring. Freeze Great too!

These are excellent, but 1/2 cup of butter in the topping is overkill. The butter is only there to make the chocolate easier to cut. You only need a tablespoon or two. Also, cut down on the sugar a little and add more graham cracker crumbs. The peanut butter and chocolate is sweet enough.

I give these five stars for being so easy to make and for tasting just like a Reese's Peanut Butter Cup. I made them for my students--college age--and they loved them. So these aren't just for kids! Let the pan sit out (from the fridge) a few minutes before trying to cut them into squares. If you do, they'll cut very easily. Also, I used two cups of chocolate chips like the other reviewers and agree that it would be difficult to get by with less. Thanks Lisa!

I've made this a few times and love it! It's amazing. I followed others' advice and used more graham cracker crumbs (1 3/4 cup), and actually replaced a bit with plain breadcrumbs, just to cut back a bit on the sweetness. I used natural peanut butter, b/c that's what I had, and it didn't make any difference (except that I needed to add salt to offset the sweetness of all that powdered sugar!). I ran out of chocolate, so I wasn't able to follow the advice to double the amount, but I definitely will next time! Best no-bake treat ever!

This recipe is primo. I made a similar recipe from off of this site, but this one was much better. I will make these again, and may mix 50/50 milk chocolate chips and semi sweet chips. I'm also thinking that I might make these egg shaped for easter.

Just made these bars this evening....what a hit!! Everyone raved about how good they were!! Believe me....a little square goes a loooong way...these are very rich - but very good!! Whenever you feel like living dangerously...give this a try - they are truly yummy!! Thanks Lisa...I'll be making these again and again..... = )

These are AMAZING. my father asks me to make them at least once a week. I would reccomend using less confectioner's sugar, however, otherwise they're painfully sweet.

I think this is the very best chocolate peanut squares i've ever tasted!There just the best thing you would have probably tried.I used the butter and chocolate chips once in the microwave but I had not enough chocolate so i put more chocolate chips in and then i had enough chocolate!This was a better recipe than i thought!

Delicious! My fiancé and in-laws love it! They taste exactly like peanut butter cups!

Yes, this recipe is very sweet and rich, but isn't that the point? I thought it was great - just eat in small pieces at a time. Very easy. MUST use more than 1 cup of chocolate chips on top. 1 1/2 cups is perfect. Milk chocolate is best. Spray your hands with a little Pam and use your hands to smooth the base into the pan. Keep chilled. Excellent.

These came out really rich, but also really good. I really liked them, but you can't eat too many of them, you'll get sick of them because they're so rich... just look at how much butter goes into it! I tried subbing in 1/2 cup Reese's peanut butter chips for 1/2 a cup of the peanut butter, but I couldn't tell that they were in there. I also didn't completely pulverize the graham crackers (because I did it by hand with a wooden spoon), so there were some nice crunchy bits in it. Goes really well with ice cream. The next time I'm going to make it more chocolatey (probably by making less peanut butter portion), because the peanut butter portion mostly overwhelms the chocolate.

Good, but very rich! After eating a couple of peices, I was turned off by how sweet they were. A little does go along way so I recommened small portions. I did double the chocolate like many others because I could not see how 1 cup of chocolate chips could have been enough for the entire pan. I also had to substitute graham cereal for the crackers since I forgot to pick some up at the store. I do not recommend this substitution...this may have been why mine were overly sweet. Probably won't make again but glad I gave them a try.

SOOOOOO YUMMY! Just like my mom makes! Tastes just like the candy!

Really rich but really good! These do taste just like a big peanut butter cup!

These were absolutely FABULOUS! Everyone just loves them! (...and thy taste exactly like Reese's Peanut Butter cups!) No one could beleive the similarity! I would recommend these to any chocolate/PB lover!!!

I'm dieting right now so I look for recipes that I would like and make them for other people to enjoy! Made this for some of my co workers. They ate the whole batch! I did taste these, they are very good! I only used 2 cups of sugar. Excellent!

I'm just learning how to bake and cook, and these turned out to be a hit!!!! They were delicious!! I made a few changes: I added 2 cups of chocolate chips instead of 1, and also left out the butter that the recipe wanted to mix in with the chocolate, and it turned out really good. I'll defintely make these again!

These were delicious. Just a hint, don't completely mush the graham crackers, it gives it a crunchy taste with creamy peanut butter.

We made these just this past week and they were gone in one day. I had to hide them because my 5 year old kept sneaking them! This is definitely the go-to dessert for any peanut butter and chocolate lover.

These were fantastic! Even better then store bought peanut butter cups & super easy to make. i kept mine in the fridge, they were pretty soft otherwise. i also used part chunky reduced fat PB & reduced fat grahams, still delicious with less fat!

These are so easy and so yummy! I didn't spread the mixture over the whole jellyroll pan so that they would come out a little thicker. A 9x13 probably would have been the perfect size. So, so, so good!!

These squares were delicious with a capital D. I followed the suggestions that others gave and they tasted just like the real thing. I did have a little trouble completely mixing in the Conf. sugar. But it didn't matter my family thought them a delicatescent and my husband not to make them too often because he can't stop eating them; very rich.

These are soo good!! No changes need to be made - the recipe is perfect and so quick and easy. I didn't have a jelly roll pan, so i used a regular 9 x 13 pan - it came out great - just a thicker layer of peanut butter on the bottom.

I got this recipe from Kraftfoods.com. They are good but a bit too sweet.

My grandmother made these when I was a kid. I have been looking for the recipe for a while and finally found it on here. I made these for my Husband to take to a pot luck at work. They were wonderful. I did use more chips for frosting and used as other reviews suggested about 1/2 cup more graham cracker crumbs. Awesome recipe!!!

Outstanding! These taste awesome and are very addicting! I agree with others that next time I'll add a bit more chocolate (maybe 1 1/2 cups) on top to give it a bit more chocolate flavour. But otherwise they taste just like the peanut butter cups.

This is probably the simplest and most outstanding recipe I have found. I agree - reduce the butter - it's a bit much for the topping. Increasing the graham crackers does make it better. One thing I think is that you could try different mixtures of chocolate for the top. "As is" this is probably the best simple dessert you can make. This is perfect for teaching simple cooking to kids or those who don't cook because it's a very basic recipe.

I melted my butter in the microwave and poured 12 of it on the mixture. When it seemed too dry, I realized I had not put the amount I was suppose to put in so I added the other 12 cup. I lightly sprayed the bottom of the pan with butter. Then after I had it all pressed in the bottom of the pan, I realized I left out 23 cup of the graham cracker crumbs. Needless to say, I didn't go back and add them. I melted my topping in the microwave as well. I must say, they are WONDERFULLY YUMMY and attractive as well. This is definitely a recipe for my

i didn't have graham crackers, so i threw some honey nut cheerios into the processor and they worked very well.

These taste fantastic. I made them last night to bring to a party this weekend. It was a little difficult to mix the confectioner's sugar with the other ingredients. The kitchen was a little messy by the time I was done. The end result was worth it.

This is the real deal! Tastes just like a Reese's and even has the correct texture. My husband and 4 kids went crazy for these and boy are they easy to make!

These were perfect! So easy to make. I used almond bark since I was out of chocolate chips, turned out perfecto!

Easy, Tasty. I doubled the amount of chocolate and used crucnchy peanut butter (because it was all I had) and it turned out great. I made extra and froze a bunch for snacks later on. They are so good frozen! Just cut them into bite size pieces and enjoy.

I've tried a couple variations of this recipe, and this one is the best! I could eat the whole pan! Made a couple variations: used 9 x 13 pan. For the topping I used a whole bag of chips and only 1/4c butter. I let the pb mixture sit in the fridge for a half hour before putting the chocolate on. After putting the chocolate on, I chilled for 45 minutes then scored the chocolate. I found that made it easier to slice them up once completely chilled.

Go to no bake cookies. Great addition to Xmas cookie list as they are different and get devoured! Easy at any level to make. Just don’t substitute anything else for graham crackers - does not come out the same!

AWESOME recipe!! These were loved by my family. They taste just like Reeses' peanut butter cups! But beware, they are very rich. I highly recommend these to anyone who loves the combination of peanut butter & chocolate! Thanks Lisa.

Super rich and super tasty!!!!Great recipe-thanks Lisa!!

These were delicious. I messed with the chocolate & butter measurements, so it wasn't as easy to spread on top of the peanut butter mixture as I had hoped. The taste was still great though.

Great and easy!

My mom has been making these for years! They are delicious. We both like to use milk chocolate chips. It's also good with butterscotch chips.

These are good. I put mine in 9x13 dish. This makes a lot. It def needs more chocolate. Double if not triple the amount called for. I tried both semi-sweet and milk chocolate. We prefer the milk chocolate. Also I skipped the butter step in with the chocolate and used a little olive oil instead. It set up perfectly.

This recipe is truly amazing! Many friends have been unable to return to the store bought reese's cups after indulging in these. I use all milk chocolate and sometimes chunky peanut butter for a twist.

I like sweets, but this was WAY too sweet!! I wouldn't make this again.

I made these exactly as written and they are very, very yummy!! I wouldn't want more chocolate on them, I thought there was plenty.

This is a yummy recipe, but VERY rich! I followed some of the other suggestions by adding more chocolate chips and cutting some of the butter out. Make sure you don't make the same mistake I did by trying to cut them too soon after cooking....they fall apart. We'll make these again for special occasions.

kind of grainy, maybe i blended my graham crackers too thin??? but, definately tasted like a giant reeses. I used Jif peanut butter, and didn't put butter in the chocolate. cut small squares, probably best served with a nice glass of cold milk

They are a good candy type treat; not a Reeses but very very close and very, very good! I've been making them for two years now for the holidays.

Also great if you use rice krispies instead of the graham cracker crumbs. Over all, it is a delicious recipe

5 stars! Not to sound like a broken record but these really taste like the real thing! The only thing I would suggest is adding a little more chocolate because the peanut butter over powers the 1 cup.

For all you health nuts out there...I used "Smart Balance" peanut butter, made my own powdered sugar (use 3 cups splenda in a blender), and substituted unsweetened applesauce for the butter. They turned out great! :) Also planning on freezing atleast half of them to have in the next few months...

These are really good! They taste even better than the recess peanut butter cups! Delicious!

Made this recipe 2x--once for my workplace, once for husbands-- rave reviews by all- dieters begged me to take them away as they are addictive, but very rich. Few adjustments as previously suggested-- double choc chips and used 2 Tblsp shortening (ran out of butter) instead of 1/2c-- also 1st batch was a little dry when I upped the grah crax (crumbled when cut)- 2nd batch was perfect-- will make again-- makes alot & is a crowd pleaser!! Thanks

These are great! Everyone at church asked me for the recipe. The only thing I changed was that I only put 2 tablespoons of butter with the chocolate when melting it and I added more chocolate, based on previous reviews.

This got rave reviews from my co-workers when I brought this to work. They keep asking for more.

I used a bag of milk chocolate chips and 1.5 TB of butter for the topping- it was perfect! My husband refused to let me bring it to his parents for a party- he wanted it all to himself (I brought some anyway and they all loved it)!

Sooo good! I made mine in a brownie pan and they were pretty thick. I might try the jelly roll pan next time and thin them out. My whole family loved them!

These are fabulous! I added a little more crushed grahams as stated in previous reviews and would not do that next time I made these. It made them a little on the dry side, but that was my mistake:)

best dessert in the world, not a huge fan of peanut butter and chocolate mixed together, but these are AMAZING. highly recomend these.

it is sooooooooooooooooooooooooo good i cant belive it is soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo so sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo good

Quick and easy

Lisa, I'd like to Thank You for sharing your yummy recipe. With summer break,the kids out of school, I needed something to keep them busy. Came across your Easy to follow recipe for my 11 year old son Scott. As for his review, Easy to follow directions. His comments: "These Are Awesome!" As for his older brother, he is enjoying eatting them all up. From: Pueblo West, Colorado

SUPER!! I know this is what all the reviews say...but you cant get too much of a good thing! These were extremly easy to make... I melted my butter in the microwave not the stove and then mixed those ingredients in a large bowl. I also ended up using close to 1 3/4 cups of chocolate chips...the mixture looked oily without the extra...it turned out perfectly. Cut them small though because they are rich (however I have eaten more than I needed since making them) A winner for a great treat that is super easy to make!

Excellent!!! I've made them a few times and had LOTS of compliments. They're fast, simple and SO GOOD!

wonderful and simple to make, taste great!

These were good but not nearly as good and creamy as the Reese's Peanut Butter Cup. Reading the reviews, I eliminated the butter in the chocolate topping and increased the amount of graham cracker crust and chocolate chips used. 4 cups of confectioner's sugar?? My gosh.

excellent recipe!!! Easy to make, I used Adams Organic Peanut Butter and they had more of a fresh peanut taste.

Too much powdered sugar taste.

Needs more Choco on top!

I made this recipe for the first time last night. I am not much for measuring things (makes more dishes to clean). I used about a cup (more or less) of Smart Balance. 1 two pound bag of confectioners sugar would be 4 cups (turned out to be too much) so, I only used half of the bag and one package of graham crackers which I crushed with the flat side of my meat tenderizer while placed inside a ziplock bag. The peanut butter mixture was perfectly sweetened with 1/2 bag of powdered sugar (and I love sugar!) and with the graham crumbs, holds together perfectly. I would as one reviewer said use the food processor or in my case my Ninja the next time to get the crumbs ground a little finer. Texture didn't make a difference as these taste amazing! I used a whole pkg. of semi-sweet morsles and 1/2 C. Butter. I made everything on the stove top since I am a naturalist and have read some scary things on how the microwave actually heats food. I chilled this in the freezer for 25 min. and my fiance and I pigged out. The next morning after sitting out on the counter overnight covered in plastic wrap the chocolate and peanut butter are still holding together perfectly and taste great at room temperature. This is definitly a five star, go to recipe for peanut butter squares!

So good! Only quibble is this is too sweet and gooey as listed. See tweaks below. Changes to peanut butter base: - 2 cups graham cracker crumbs - 2 cups confectioner's sugar Changes to chocolate topping: - Use entire bag of semi-sweet chocolate chips (12 oz) - 1/4 cup butter After refrigerating, the chocolate may be brittle due to using less butter; allow tray temp to come back to room temp before cutting.

I'd give it 5 stars for how easy this is to make, 5 stars for how much you get out of it , with 3 hungry little boys this is very important. And 5 stars for the taste! they were really good, completely addictive, although VERY rich, you can't have to much at one, which I thought was a good thing until I found myself cutting off a little square, oh, every 10 minutes or so. Thankyou very much for this great recipe, we will deffinetly be making this again.

DELICIOUS just the way it is! I did put in less confectioners sugar, thank you to the other reviews-- just about 3-3.5 cups instead. The peanut butter is pretty sweet on it's own. Everyone in my office now knows me as the girl who makes the best peanut butter bar thingies. Everyone wants the recipe and is always questioning the amount of butter.. but that's what makes it so good :-). Love it and is now my go-to recipe if I don't know what to bake for an occasion. Big hit and SUPER easy/quick. Thanks!!

I folllowed earlier reviews and used more graham cracker crumbs and it turned out dry and crumbly. Stick with the recipe!

Yummm! These came out great! I took the advice of others and cut down on the butter that gets melted with the chocolate to about half.

This was AWESOMEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!! I really liked this recipe... But since I like chocolate as much as PB I put a layer of chocolate at the bottom. thx 4 the recipe.

WOW IF YOU LIKE PEANUT BUTTER CUPS THIS IS A MUST. OTHER THAN THE REAL THING THIS IS A REAL CLOSE SECOND. WE ALL LOVED IT

This is my most requested treat that I make! I have been making these with my mom since I was a kid. I do have a few changes. I do NOT use any butter in my chocolate topping, I simply melt a full package of MILK chocolate chips in a bowl in the microwave and spread it on. I use a large rectangle pan and refridgerate for about 1 hour before cutting into squares. I store mine in the fridge but my mom stores hers at room temperature...so it's just whatever you like better. I always make a double batch because they seriously dont last! I use creamy peanut butter but Im sure crunchy would be fine too. Lately, when Im crushing the graham crackers...I dont make them so fine, so they have a little crunch. After reading some of the reviews about maybe adding a little more graham...I dont measure out my crumbs. Gragam crackers usually come in a box with 3 packs. I just use 1 and 1/2 packs. So for a doulbe batch I use the whole box. It may be 1 1/2 cups like the recipe says but Im not sure. You can adust most of the ingredients to what you prefer. It's hard to mess this one up. Have fun and enjoy! These are AWESOME!

i used half the sugar on this, and it still seemed extremely sweet - but definitely a favorite. more chocolate next time though!

this recipe is more like 4.5 as written - but as others have said, you definitely need to decrease the butter in the chocolate part to 2T, and milk chocolate chips would be much better than semi-sweet. otherwise, these are to die for. the graham cracker crumbs in the PB mix sounded weird to me, but made the texture so similar to a reese's pb cup... oh my we were in heaven!!

These are chilling as I type!! I did them in mini cupcake liners in my mini muffin tin so they will resemble a reeses pieces. I put a dollop of chocolate at the bottom and then a dollop of peanut butter mixture and another dollop of chocolate. I KNOW these will be rich so I'm guessing a small sampling of these for a candy basket will be plenty! Can't wait to try these!! YUM! The only thing I did differently was to add an extra 1/2 cup of chocolate chips. The rest of the recipe seemed to be perfect consistancy.

GREAT! Better than the candy bar. I added 1/3 cup more graham crumbs. I made mine in a 9x13 pan and used the entire bag chocolate chips as many suggested. It was just perfect. Everyone at the pot-luck loved it! Will surely make this again.

These are amazing! Based on previous suggestions I doubled the chocolate (both the chocolate chips and the margarine) and they turned out perfectly. I won't even admit how many of these I ate yesterday. Added peanut butter to my grocery list already... LOL

Made 1/2 of the recipe and put into an 8X8 pan. Letting these set up in the fridge is the key to easy removal from the pan. They cut into perfect squares and were a favorite, especially with the kids, at our party dessert table.

I didn't like it, it was too rich. But if you like that sort of thing you'll love this.

I followed most of the suggestions given in previous reviews & had the same great results. I increased the graham cracker crumbs to 1 3/4 cup and used about 1 3/4 cup of chocolate chips. This was super easy to make, especially because I had the pre-crushed graham cracker crumbs on hand. The only suggestion I have is to use a large enough sauce pan for the peanut butter mixture. I used a 2 quart and had to transfer it into a larger bowl to completely mix everything. I finally had to knead it by hand to get it evenly mixed. This makes way more than 18 servings if you cut them into small squares. It is very rich so one inch squares or a bit smaller are perfect. Will definitely make this again as it is an easy treat for the holidays.
