Steps:
- Line 8- or 9-inch square pan with foil, leaving 1 inch of foil overhanging at 2 opposite sides of pan. Grease foil with butter.
- In medium bowl, mix 1/2 cup peanut butter, the butter, peanuts and vanilla. Stir in 2 cups powdered sugar, 1/2 cup at a time, until stiff dough forms. (Work in powdered sugar with hands if necessary.) If dough is crumbly, work in additional 1 tablespoon peanut butter. Pat mixture in pan. Cover; refrigerate about 1 hour or until firm. Remove from pan, using foil edges to lift. Cut into 8 rows by 8 rows.
- Line cookie sheet with waxed paper. In 1-quart saucepan, melt chocolate chips and shortening over low heat, stirring constantly. Dip peanut butter squares, one at a time, into chocolate mixture. Place on waxed paper. Refrigerate uncovered about 30 minutes or until firm.
- In small bowl, mix 1/2 cup powdered sugar and 2 tablespoons peanut butter. Beat in milk with wire whisk until smooth. Stir in additional milk, if necessary, 1 teaspoon at a time, until thin enough to drizzle.
- Drizzle icing over tops of chocolate-covered squares. Refrigerate uncovered about 30 minutes or until firm. Store candies loosely covered in refrigerator.

[email protected]I'm not sure what happened, but these candies turned out really weird. The chocolate coating was crumbly and the peanut butter mixture was grainy. I guess I'll have to try a different recipe next time.

[email protected]These candies were a complete disaster! The chocolate coating seized up and the peanut butter mixture was too runny. I'm not sure what I did wrong.

[email protected]I had some trouble getting the chocolate coating to set properly. I think I might have used too much peanut butter. Other than that, the candies were delicious.

[email protected]These candies were a bit too sweet for my taste, but they were still good. I think I'll try using a darker chocolate next time.
