Tips:

  • Use a large pot to make the peanut butter chews, as the mixture will bubble up during cooking.
  • Cook the mixture over medium heat, stirring constantly, until it reaches the desired consistency. If the mixture is too thick, add a little milk or water. If it is too thin, continue cooking until it thickens.
  • Pour the mixture into a greased 9x13 inch baking pan and let it cool completely. This will take several hours or overnight.
  • Once the mixture is cooled, cut it into 1-inch pieces. You can also use cookie cutters to cut out different shapes.
  • Store the peanut butter chews in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks.
