Reese's Peanut Butter Squares

It's almost Easter...St. Patrick's Day is over and the grocery stores have piled their aisles full of chocolate, chocolate, chocolate. My parents came to Seattle a few days ago to drop my brother off for a visit, and before they left they took me grocery shopping. What more can you ask for! But anyways, they told me to pick out some Easter candy since I wouldn't be home for the holiday and I was overwhelmed. They make EVERYTHING into some form of Easter candy now! They had Easter JellyBeans, Easter Mike & Ike's, Easter Reese's...i guess the traditional chocolate Easter bunny doesn't always cut it now. But nevertheless, my brother picked up the 6 pack of Reese's chocolate eggs. By far my fave. When I was still in elementary school I found a recipe to make Reese's peanut butter squares. They taste exactly the same so if you ever have want to make them i'll give you the recipe.

Spring Break has yet to officially begin, but I've been done my exams since Monday. Last weekend we went to the Seattle Dog Show. I probably enjoyed myself way more than I should have haha. So many dogs to see, I'm never going to pass up a dog show again! My brother came up on Tuesday morning and left Wednesday night so I made sure to fill up the 36 hour period with as much as I could. We went to see the Matt Damon movie, Green Zone. I enjoyed it, wasn't sure what to expect but once I left the theatre I knew I liked it. Went to the Space Needle on Wednesday morning...BEFORE the sun came out! I have bad luck. It was still nice, but it would have been nice to see Mt. Rainier and the Olympics. Then we took a walk past the Fremont Troll, down to GasWorks and then went for lunch at Aqua Verde. It was fun...gotta get him to come back and visit!

Here's the Reese's recipe...

Reese's Peanut Butter Squares

3 1/2 cups powdered sugar

1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs

1 1/2 cups peanut butter

1 cup butter

12-oz. chocolate chips (milk chocolate)

Combine crumbs, sugar and peanut butter. Mix well. Blend in butter until well combined. Press into 9 x 13 pan. Melt chips in double boiler and spread over peanut butter mixture. Refrigerate until firm. Cut into squares with a warm knife (put it into warm water before you cut with it).
