Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Graham cracker crumbs
- 2 cups Powdered sugar
- 1 cup Unsalted butter, melted
- 1 cup Creamy peanut butter
- 1.5 cups Semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 0.25 cup Creamy peanut butter (for topping)
Instructions
Line a 9x13-inch baking dish with parchment paper or lightly grease it to prevent sticking.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs and powdered sugar.
Add the melted butter and 1 cup of peanut butter to the dry ingredients. Stir until the mixture is well combined and forms a thick, slightly sticky dough.
Press the peanut butter mixture evenly into the bottom of the prepared baking dish, creating a firm, flat layer.
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the semi-sweet chocolate chips and 1/4 cup of peanut butter for the topping. Microwave in 20-30 second intervals, stirring after each interval, until smooth and fully melted.
Pour the melted chocolate mixture over the peanut butter base and spread it evenly with a spatula.
Refrigerate the dish for at least 2 hours, or until the chocolate topping is firm and set.
Once chilled, use a sharp knife to cut into 16 squares. For clean edges, wipe the knife blade with a damp cloth between cuts.
Serve immediately or store the squares in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
