Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Line an 8-inch square baking pan with nonstick foil. Set aside.
To make the crust, put all ingredients into a bowl. Using a hand mixer, mix to a crumbly dough. Press into the pan and prick it with a fork all over. Bake 12 minutes just to set it, not brown it.
To make the filling, combine the melted butter with the other ingredients and stir until smooth.
Use an offset spatula to spread the peanut butter mixture over the warm crust.
To make the chocolate topping, microwave the chocolate and oil just till melted and stir smooth.
Pour over the peanut butter layer and smooth with an offset spatula. Chill for a couple hours, then bring to room temperature to cut and serve.
