Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups Graham cracker crumbs
- 1.5 cups Powdered sugar
- 1 cup Creamy peanut butter
- 0.5 cup Unsalted butter, melted
- 1.25 cups Semisweet chocolate chips
- 0.25 cup Creamy peanut butter
Instructions
In a mixing bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, powdered sugar, 1 cup of creamy peanut butter, and the melted butter. Mix until fully combined into a smooth, crumbly dough.
Line an 8x8-inch baking dish with parchment paper, ensuring some overhang on the sides for easy removal. Press the peanut butter mixture evenly into the bottom of the pan to form the base layer. Set aside.
In a microwave-safe bowl, add the chocolate chips and 1/4 cup of peanut butter. Microwave in 15-20 second intervals, stirring after each interval, until the mixture is fully melted and smooth.
Pour the melted chocolate mixture over the peanut butter base, spreading evenly with a spatula or the back of a spoon.
Refrigerate the dish for at least 2 hours, or until the chocolate layer is firm.
Once chilled, use the parchment paper to lift the entire block out of the pan. Cut into 16 squares using a sharp knife.
Serve immediately, or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
