Betty's Peanut Butter Cup Squares Recipe

[phyllischristlieb]

Your grandsons such a doll! I love your soothing voice and the way you teach us your cooking techniques and recipes! Thank you! I'll be sharing this one with my friends!

[dixielee323]

I'm just watching episodes I might have missed and Carter was (& still is) soooo cute! Thanks for giving me enough videos to watch when I'm home and have some downtime. -Brittany

[110cottoncandy]

can i just use a hand mixer to mix the powdered sugar in to the peanut butter?

[bettyskitchen]

@110cottoncandy Yes, a hand mixer will be fine.

--Betty :)

[pkplovemusic]

Soooo cute!!-3

[Topaz5866]

Thank you for this recipe! If I may make a suggestion, it may be helpful for easy release of the peanut butter if you spray the measuring container with Pam or even spread a little oil in it. That works great when pouring honey too.

[cb2k761]

LMAO she says "this is gonna taste good isnt it" and he looks at it hesitates and says "uh huh" LMAO

[ThePinkMyth]

I am going to make this for my brother using sunflower seed butter! He is allergic to nuts and I think he will love this!

[chickun1soup80]

and he's so respectful trying so hard not to misbehave lol he's being good for grandma!! such a good boy.

[chickun1soup80]

your grandson is so adorable... oh and u make Martha Stewart look like a joke!

[jammingwithmarley]

I'm craving peanut butter, ahhhh. Those bars look amazing!

[Queenofmynamesucks]

Thank you for sharing this video, I found it very helpful. Going to make this with my little cousins, they'll love it. Quick question though, confectioner's sugar is that another term for icing sugar,or even castor sugar? I'm from Europe. I've never heard of confectioner's sugar! Thanks, Queen

[bettyskitchen]

@Queenofmynamesucks Hi Queen,

Yes, confectioner's sugar is just another word for icing sugar.

--Betty :)

[juzzymuzzy]

@Queenofmynamesucks yes I'm from england and its another word for icing sugar

[JosephAReviews]

[bettyskitchen]

@JosephAReviews I hope you enjoy making these!

--Betty :)

[Ninflo1]

[sjcrazed]

Your recipe looks so good!!! Just wondering though, do I use unsalted or salted butter? Thanks!

[bettyskitchen]

@sjcrazed Either will be fine. I used salted butter.

--Betty :)

[MzHipHop1]

--Betty :)

[qdoom23]

--Betty  :)

[AllNaturalEpiphany]

I just made this recipe a few hours ago and it is sitting in my fridge as I type this. I'm trying my best not to grab a square because I made them for my boyfriend as part of his V-Day gift. LoL

The recipe was super easy and fun, Betty!

Thanks so much!

Keep them coming!!!

[bettyskitchen]

@AllNaturalEpiphany Thanks for the great feedback! I really appreciate it!

--Betty :)

[AzureClarity]

Grandson? Lol, I thought he was your son.

[magicstar128]

[Neecie7]

He has such pretty eyes omg. From the camera they look turquoise emerald-ish.



[MrsOdusoga]

Ohh batty your gandson is just way to cute

[LaurenMacP1994]

You should've had more chocolate over the top xxx

[silkorganza]

I have to say, I love your very calm easy style and the little boy is so cute. Thank you for being on youtube:-)

[silkorganza]

Hi there! Love your clips. Can I use butter instead of margarine(hate the taste), it would make it richer? Thank you!

[bettyskitchen]

@silkorganza Butter would be great! Thanks for your nice comment!

--Betty :)

[elizabeth4everish]

Hi betty,one question. do you mean like literally one full cup or where that jar says 1 cup

[bettyskitchen]

@elizabeth4everish Yes, it is literally 1 full cup.

--Betty :)

[Sisters4EverABNR]

hes sooo cutee!!great recipie

[MadWeiner]

Young Grandma:)

[ballietbran]

Betty! after i watch one video, i always watch atleast 5more! lol

[dannyfaix666]

I would suggest using more then 6 oz of marsels cause I made it and 6 oz didn't really cover the whole top layer

[killuhmike99]

whats the difference between confections sugar and regular sugar?

[jodisweetie]

Aw your granson's so cute! & I'm going to try that recipe, because I'm addicted to peanut butter cups :-)

[duffyellie]

These look soooooooooo good - i'm in the UK - i'm thinking 'confectioners sugar' must be what we call icing sugar - I don't suppose you have the measurements in ounces or grammes do you Betty? I don't know how much a stick of margarine weighs! thanks for sharing this!

[Starsurfer1988]

She looks like his mom, not like his grandma :)

[MissLeigh78]

Can I refrigerate them after they've cooled and I've cut them?

[bettyskitchen]

@MissLeigh78 Yes, I usually do refrigerate them.

--Betty :)

[MissLeigh78]

@bettyskitchen Thanks!

[goldedrago]

are these ganna tastes like rees's peanut butter cups?

[bettyskitchen]

@goldedrago Yes, they taste a lot like Reese's cups!

--Betty :)

[rgm1984]

That looks so good! Also, that is a very nice cooktop. :)

[TheKingGummyBear]

betty marry me O.o

[MaeTheWolfDemon]

When making this does it have to be confectioners sugar or could you use pure sugar?

[bettyskitchen]

@MaeTheWolfDemon This recipe will require confectioner's sugar; otherwise, you will be disappointed with the results.

--Betty :)

[MaeTheWolfDemon]

@bettyskitchen Alright! Thanks! I am probably gonna make them for my family on Thanksgiving as a desert~! 8)

[shimmerpole]

when using vanilla powder, how much should i use?

[bettyskitchen]

@shimmerpole Substitute twice the amount of extract (if recipe calls for 1 tsp extract, use 2 tsp powder).

--Betty :)

[shimmerpole]

@bettyskitchen Thanks!

[TheLovesoul1]

he is so lucky

[msh464]

aww cute kid!

[jackiecutie1776]

[bettyskitchen]

@loverocks1778 I don't really know what magic bars are. Sounds interesting!

--Betty :)

[bigteo90]

how much is 1 stick of butter

[bettyskitchen]

@bigteo90 It's 1/2 cup or 4 ounces or 8 tablespoons or 113 grams. --Betty :)

[ilovehomeandaway2011]

[Pattynfam]

Hi Betty I just subscribed to your videos and I love them I am going to do the peanut butter squares this Friday , thanks for the video they are so helpful and oraganized ;)

[cegoins25]

i made mine with either crunchy peanut butter or i add in rice krispie...it's pretty good with those two choices

[bloodriotiori]

@cegoins25 the rice crispies is a good idea actually, i'm gonna try to get my fiance to make me these, and i'll suggest that too xD

[sfighoi]

How Would You Melt Peanut Butter For Peanut Butter Bars?

[bettyskitchen]

@sfighoi You can always melt peanut butter by adding a simple syrup (nade half and half of sugar and water) and adding some peanut butter. You can sweeten to taste by adding confectioner's sugar.

--Betty :)

[genedinh209]

@bettyskitchen can u use ordinary sugar

[bettyskitchen]

@genedinh209 It won't have the same consistency, so you will not be able to cut it into squares if you use regular sugar--but it will taste good.

--Betty :)

[sfighoi]

The First Half Before You Melted The Chocolate Is That How You Melt Peanut Butter?

[bettyskitchen]

@sfighoi You add the peanut butter to butter and melt it in a pot over low heat. You will find the complete recipe for all of my videos if you click the down arrow.

--Betty :)

[tinaloveseddie]

I am Sooo gonna make this......I love Reese's peanut butter cups! I mean anything with peanut butter & chocolate...Is a Big Sweet Hit! Ohhh and ur Grandson...is 2 Cute....Wow! =) Thanx for the "Sweet Share"!

[AkuziSuper12]

[thelaurels13]

This is one of my favourite treat recipes. Thank you Betty. Oh by the way your grandson is so cute and so well behaved.

[bigdognc419]

[ozzygodisgod]

You look so young to be a grandma at first I thought he was your son

[pusher1012000]

dang

[jamielynnp24]

You are a grandmother? No Way!

[eightwillwontcannot]

betty, you are one hot grandma

[leafylou96]

In every video you make me crave what you're cooking, lol.

[ACTIN8OR]

@jannet678 xD, You should be like a perfessional, we're talking like Gordan Ramsey xDD

[cattnipp]

Mmmmm. Wonderful with cold milk. I will say be on the lookout with store brand chocolate morsels - they are usually made from chocolate liquor which is a cheap by-product of chocolate. But if its just kids eating them, use the cheap store brand because they can't taste the difference.

[bettyskitchen]

@cattnipp I usually get the store brand of a lot of ingredients, unless I feel strongly about a particular brand. Thanks for commenting!

--Betty :)

[betup47]

your Grandson is a little doll, may God always protect and bless him and your family. Thanks for all the wonderful receipts too!!!

[bettyskitchen]

@betup47 Thanks for your kind words and your lovely compliments. May God bless you and yours.

--Betty :)

[Yurmajestie]

--Betty :)

[jannet678]

i wish you were my grandma

[bettyskitchen]

@jannet678 I get that a lot!  I would love to cook for you!

--Betty :)

[ittybittykitty44]

@bettyskitchen me to!!!!!!!!

[ittybittykitty44]

@jannet678 me to!!!!!

[kaleeja]

can you use white choclate?? Thanks :D

[bettyskitchen]

Sure, white chocolate will be just fine--in fact, that sounds wonderful!

--Betty :)

[MsCacacola]

Betty how did you get the chocolate?

Or what brand was it?

[bettyskitchen]

This was just 1/2 of a 12 oz. bag of chocolate morsels (chips) that you can get at most grocery stores. I used a store brand, but any brand will work. Thanks for your question!

--Betty :)

[MsCacacola]

Thank you very much.

[chantay1980]

you're grandson is soooo cute

[bettyskitchen]

Yes. he's a cutie, but sooo full of energy! Thanks for your sweet comment!

--Betty :)

[bloodriotiori]

@bettyskitchen lol not to mention his reaction when you mentioned chocolate. "Chocolate?? :D" he got so excited about it heh.

[jackieo12345]

hi betty i have made this a few times g kids love it , can you tell me how long you put it on the stove?and do you let it cool before putting in icing sugar. thanks my fist was alittle soft, then one i had to use more icing sugar to get it as hard as yours thank so much

[bettyskitchen]

In the case of the peanut butter mixture and also in the case of the chocolate, there is no set time for heating it. Just heat until melted. No, you don't need to cool it before adding the confectioner's sugar. If yours is coming out too soft, then continue to add more confectioner's sugar; you will find the right comination for you.

--Betty :)

[radsie7]

your grandson is absolutely adorable!!! and that recipe looks delicious! :))
