  • Transfer the dough to an 8x8 inch baking pan that is lined with parchment paper and press the dough into a flat layer on the bottom of the pan. It should be about a half inch in thickness.

  • Cool the crust from the oven for at least 10 - 15 minutes. Then pour the peanut butter sauce on top and spread it over the crust evenly. Place it in the freezer for 1 hour, or until the peanut butter has hardened.

  • Once hardened, remove the whole thing from the baking pan and cut it in half with a sharp knife. Keep cutting the pieces in half until you have 16 bars.
