Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups graham cracker crumbs
- 1.5 cups powdered sugar
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- 0.5 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1.5 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 2 tablespoons creamy peanut butter (for chocolate layer)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs and powdered sugar. Mix until well combined.
Add 1 cup of creamy peanut butter and the melted butter to the dry ingredients. Stir until the mixture forms a smooth, even consistency.
Line an 8x8-inch baking dish with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal. Press the peanut butter mixture firmly and evenly into the bottom of the pan to form the base layer.
In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the semi-sweet chocolate chips and 2 tablespoons of peanut butter in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until completely smooth and melted.
Pour the melted chocolate mixture over the peanut butter base in the pan. Use a spatula to spread the chocolate evenly over the top.
Chill the pan in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, or until the chocolate has set completely.
Once chilled, remove the peanut butter squares from the pan using the parchment paper overhang. Cut into 16 equal squares with a sharp knife.
Serve immediately or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
