Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup peanut butter
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 cup crushed graham crackers
- 0.5 cup unsalted butter
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 pinch pinch of salt
Instructions
Line an 8x8-inch baking dish with parchment paper, leaving overhang on the sides for easy removal.
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine peanut butter, powdered sugar, crushed graham crackers, melted butter, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Mix until thoroughly combined and a dough-like texture forms.
Press the peanut butter mixture evenly into the prepared baking dish, smoothing the top with a spatula.
In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the semi-sweet chocolate chips in 20-second intervals, stirring between each interval, until smooth and glossy.
Pour the melted chocolate over the peanut butter layer, spreading it evenly with a spatula or the back of a spoon.
Chill in the refrigerator for 1-2 hours or until the chocolate has set.
Once chilled, remove the candy block from the dish using the parchment paper overhang. Cut into small squares or bars.
Serve immediately or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
