Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups crushed graham crackers
- 1.5 cups powdered sugar
- 0.75 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 cup peanut butter (creamy)
- 1.5 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 0.25 cup peanut butter (for topping layer)
Instructions
Line an 8x8-inch (20x20 cm) baking dish with parchment paper or aluminum foil, leaving an overhang for easy removal.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the crushed graham crackers, powdered sugar, melted butter, and 1 cup of creamy peanut butter.
Mix until well blended and a dough-like consistency forms.
Press the peanut butter mixture evenly into the prepared baking dish to form the base of the bars. Use the back of a spoon or spatula to smooth the surface.
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the chocolate chips and the remaining 1/4 cup of peanut butter for the topping layer.
Microwave the mixture in 20-second intervals, stirring between intervals, until fully melted and smooth.
Pour the melted chocolate-peanut butter mixture over the base layer in the baking dish, spreading evenly with a spatula.
Refrigerate the bars for 2–3 hours or until the chocolate topping is set and firm.
Once firm, remove the bars from the baking dish using the parchment paper overhang, and cut into 16 squares.
Serve chilled and store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
