• Sweeten the mix to taste with confectioners' sugar. That could mean 1 cup, but try it as you go.
• Spread the mixture into parchment or foil lined 8-by-8-inch pan, but really, any pan will work.

• Spread the melted chocolate over the peanut butter layer. Sprinkle any of the toppings over, and refrigerate until the peanut butter and chocolate layers are set, about 1 hour or so.
