Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 2 cups graham cracker crumbs
- 2 cups powdered sugar
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1.5 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 0.25 cups peanut butter (for topping)
Instructions
Line a 9x13-inch baking pan with parchment paper or lightly grease it to prevent sticking.
In a medium-sized microwave-safe bowl, melt the unsalted butter until fully liquified (about 30-45 seconds).
Mix the melted butter with the graham cracker crumbs, powdered sugar, and the creamy peanut butter in a large mixing bowl until well combined. The mixture should have the texture of wet sand.
Press the peanut butter mixture firmly and evenly into the prepared baking pan using a spatula or the back of a spoon. Ensure the mixture is compact and smooth.
In another microwave-safe bowl, combine the semi-sweet chocolate chips and 1/4 cup of peanut butter. Microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring after each interval, until the mixture is smooth and fully melted.
Pour the melted chocolate and peanut butter mixture over the base layer in the baking pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
Refrigerate the pan for at least 2 hours or until the bars are fully set and firm.
Once set, remove the pan from the refrigerator and allow it to sit at room temperature for about 5-10 minutes to make slicing easier.
Lift the bars out of the pan using the parchment paper edges (if used) and slice into 16 squares.
Serve and enjoy! Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week.
