Charlie's Peanut Butter Squares


Ingredients
For the base:
50g dark muscovado sugar
200g icing sugar
50g unsalted butter
200g smooth peanut butter

For the topping:
200g milk chocolate (although I used 200g plain and 100g milk and most of us thought this tasted nice!)
100g plain......see above!!!
1 tbsp unsalted butter

Method - from 'How to be a Domestic Goddess" Nigella Lawson

Stir all ingredients for base together until everything starts to come together and you have a sandy mixture that sticks together when you press it to the side of the bowl with your spoon. Press the mixture into a lined brownie tin (the recipe said 1x23cm square but I used a rectangle one and they were fine!) and make the surface as smooth as possible.
Melt the chocolate and butter in a microwave on medium for about 2 minutes....in my microwave it took nearly 3 though so just ding it for a few seconds at a time and check!
Spread on base and put in fridge to set.
