Peanut Butter Squares

 Because I am a member of the blog ring “Making it Home”, I do try to post a recipe now and then to actually prove that I am making things!    The recipe here is for those peanut butter squares that David and I made together yesterday.  They ended up being VERY GOOD and I hope that you like them as much as we did.
