I just made a batch of these last evening for my hubby. It had been a while and he loves them. They are so easy to make and last as a full batch for us makes 24-26 squares. You can use reduced fat peanut butter and I also use 2% milk. It is a great treat for him to have in his lunch and you just grab it from the freezer.

Hey, you peanut butter and chocolate lovers! It doesn’t get any better than this! If you can keep from eating them, these are great to keep around for company, after school snacking and for a treat after the kids go to bed!
