Peanut Butter Squares

They contain absolutely no essential nutrients for health, almost no fiber, are rich and sweet, are definitely not part of your 5 fruits and vegetables a day and there is little chance that you will move more by devouring them… Yes but ! Above all, they are absolutely delicious! In small doses, of course, because you quickly feel guilty (although in the end I rarely feel guilty…). I made these “peanut butter squares” on my way back from the US for a very good friend’s birthday, thinking that nobody would touch them… I was almost ashamed to even bring such a simple cake (no baking and made in 10 minutes) and wondered if they would be firm enough to eat (I did as always, a little on the nose!). I was surprised to see that everyone was throwing themselves on it and that not a crumb was left… We cut them into smaller pieces and finally it all went away!!! I have to say that it’s really to die for for who loves peanut butter: an interior made of cakes and powdered pretzels (before the “argh” and the “!!!” of circumstance, go have a look on the continuation) and especially of “crunchy” peanut butter and a top with chocolate and “smooth” peanut butter. So sure, it’s not great pastry, but sometimes you have to treat yourself with simple things and call the child in each of us!
