Jenn'S Drumstick Squares - cooking recipe

Ingredients

Bottom Layer
2 cups vanilla wafers, crushed (1 box)
1/2 cup peanuts, chopped
1/2 cup butter, melted
2 tablespoons crunchy peanut butter
Filling
1 (8 ounce) package light cream cheese, room temperature
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup crunchy peanut butter
4 eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla
1 liter fat-free cool whip (large tub)
6 tablespoons chocolate syrup
crushed peanuts, optional for garnish

Preparation

Mix together all the ingredients for the bottom layer. (a food processor does the job beautifully) Reserve 1/4 cup for garnish. Press remaining mix into a 9 x 13 container.
In a large bowl, mix together cream cheese, sugar and peanut butter until smooth. Add eggs, one at a time. Add vanilla. Fold in Cool Whip. Spread this over the wafer base.
Drizzle syrup over top, and sprinkle with reserved crumbs and extra crushed peanuts if using. Freeze for 2 - 3 hours.
Cut into 15 serving pieces and return to the freezer -- (supposedly for safe keeping). Freeze overnight.
Remove servings as needed, 1/2 hour before serving. Keep unused portions in the freezer.
