Ingredients
- nonstick vegetable spray
- 2 cups (12-ounces) 85% dark chocolate chips plus 1/2 cup

Instructions
Line an 8 or 9 inch square pan with parchment sheets, overlapping the sides. Spray with nonstick spray, then set aside.
Combine the chocolate chips, cream and peanut butter in a medium microwave-safe bowl. Microwave for 45 seconds. Remove the bowl from the microwave and stir the contents.
Return the bowl to the microwave, and cook for an additional 45 seconds. Remove the bowl and stir until all the chocolate chips are melted. If necessary return the bowl and microwave for an additional 30 seconds. Be careful not to burn the chocolate.
Stir until smooth.
