Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Graham cracker crumbs
- 1.5 cups Powdered sugar
- 0.75 cups Melted unsalted butter
- 1 cups Creamy peanut butter
- 1.5 cups Semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 0.5 cups Additional peanut butter
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
Instructions
Prepare an 8x8-inch (or 9x9-inch) square baking pan by lining it with parchment paper, ensuring there is an overhang for easy removal later.
In a mixing bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, powdered sugar, melted unsalted butter, and 1 cup of creamy peanut butter. Mix until fully incorporated to form a thick, crumbly mixture.
Press the mixture evenly into the bottom of the prepared baking pan to create the base layer. Use the back of a spoon or a spatula to smooth it out.
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the chocolate chips and the additional 0.5 cups of peanut butter. Microwave in 20-30 second intervals, stirring between each interval, until the mixture is completely melted and smooth.
Stir in the vanilla extract into the chocolate-peanut butter mixture for added flavor.
Pour the melted chocolate-peanut butter mixture over the graham cracker-peanut butter base layer in the pan. Spread it evenly using a spatula or the back of a spoon.
Refrigerate the pan for at least 2-3 hours, or until the fudge bars are set and firm.
Once set, use the parchment paper overhang to lift the bars out of the pan. Place on a cutting board and slice into 16 squares or desired portions.
Serve chilled and enjoy!
