Peanut Butter Squares

This was a favorite on mine as a child and it still is today.  I make them for my girls (and who am I kidding, myself too!) and they love them. You can use any kind of peanut butter, but the natural kind without oil is the healthiest. Mix the ingredients together until the powdered milk mostly disappears.  A great snack with some sneaky ingredients that make it healthy too.



Serves: 24                                                                          
Prep time:  5 minutes
Chill time: 3 hours - overnight

INGREDIENTS:
2 1/2 cups peanut butter (natural; no sugar added)
1 cup powdered non-fat milk
¾ cup toasted wheat germ
¾ cup Honey or to taste 

DIRECTIONS:
Mix all the ingredients together until well blended.  The mixture will still be chunky but the white of the powdered milk should be mostly blended in. Press mixture into pan or Pyrex dish.  Refrigerate until chilled, a minimum of three hours but preferably overnight.  Cut into squares when mixture is firm.
