When I was a girl going to Grant Elementary School, in Cuyahoga Falls Ohio.
The lunch lady would make these wonderful treats and sell them for .25 cents each.
Hollywood Squares are way better than any peanut butter cup!
Every kid in school saved their pennies to buy a Hollywood Square!!
Heck! I even used to volunteer to help in the lunch line because they paid in Hollywood Squares!
When the school closed down she decided to make her "secret recipe" public.
Thank Goodness she did!!
These are yummy!!
Super -easy!
And a GREAT way to get your kids cooking in the kitchen with you!
Hollywood Squares
Ingredients:
2 cups peanut butter
2-1/2 cups powdered sugar
1/2 cup brown sugar
1 tsp. vanilla
1/2 cup graham cracker crumbs
1/2 cup butter, melted
Topping:
2 squares semi-sweet baking chocolate
1 tbsp. peanut butter
Directions:
Combine all ingredients except topping ingredients. Mix well and press into a buttered 9-inch pan.
Melt the topping ingredients together (the microwave works well for this) and spread over the top of the peanut butter mixture.
Chill until topping is firm.
Cut into squares.
Enjoy!!
