Line a 8 in square baking pan with foil.
Mix together softened butter and peanut butter.
Add crushed wafers and mix until combined.
Gradually add powdered sugar, mixing well after each addition.
Press finished batter into bottom of the pan.
Chop chocolate squares into small pieces. Place in a small bowl.
Add heavy cream and microwave for 1 minute. Remove from microwave and whisk until smooth and shiny.
Pour chocolate over the peanut butter batter and refrigerate for 2 hours.
Remove the foil from the pan to lift bars out. Cut into the desired size. These bars are super rich and you could get away with cutting into 16. My hubby would just take two anyway, so I cut into 12!
Like delicious Easter candy treats any day of the year.
