Peanut Butter Squares are one of my old standbys as far as quick and easy plus being a total crowd pleaser. I used to live on Salt Spring Island and there was a little cafe that served these and I loved them, as did my kids. Eventually the cafe closed. I was super sad that I wouldn’t be able to get the squares anymore. Anyways, I was at a party complaining about my plight (lol) and my friend said that she had the recipe. Since that day it has been a staple for my family. The squares are great for lunches, potlucks and road trips. They have that quality of being a treat but also a pretty filling snack. Enjoy!!
