Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Butter
- 2 cups Graham cracker crumbs
- 2 cups Powdered sugar
- 1 cup Creamy peanut butter
- 1.5 cups Semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 0.5 cup Creamy peanut butter (for chocolate topping)
Instructions
Line a 9x13-inch baking dish with parchment paper or grease it lightly to prevent sticking.
In a large microwave-safe bowl, melt the butter (about 30 seconds to 1 minute in the microwave).
Stir in the graham cracker crumbs, powdered sugar, and 1 cup of creamy peanut butter until well combined. The mixture should have the texture of wet sand.
Press the peanut butter mixture firmly and evenly into the bottom of the prepared baking dish. Use the back of a spoon or an offset spatula to smooth the surface.
In another microwave-safe bowl, combine the chocolate chips and 1/2 cup of creamy peanut butter. Heat in the microwave in 20-second increments, stirring after each, until the mixture is fully melted and smooth.
Pour the chocolate-peanut butter mixture over the graham cracker layer in the baking dish. Spread it evenly with an offset spatula or the back of a spoon.
Refrigerate the bars for at least 2 hours or until firm.
Once set, slice into 16 squares or bars. Serve chilled or at room temperature.
