Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup peanut butter (creamy or chunky)
- 0.5 cup unsalted butter
- 1.5 cups powdered sugar
- 1 cup graham cracker crumbs
- 1.5 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 0.5 cup salted mixed nuts (chopped)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
Prepare an 8x8-inch baking pan by lining it with parchment paper, leaving an overhang for easy removal later.
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the peanut butter and unsalted butter. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until the mixture is smooth and melted.
Stir in the vanilla extract, powdered sugar, and graham cracker crumbs until well combined. The mixture should form a thick, cohesive dough-like consistency.
Press the peanut butter mixture evenly into the prepared baking pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
In another microwave-safe bowl, melt the semi-sweet chocolate chips in 30-second intervals, stirring each time, until smooth and fully melted.
Pour the melted chocolate over the peanut butter layer in the pan, spreading it out evenly with a spatula.
Sprinkle the chopped salted mixed nuts evenly over the chocolate layer, pressing them gently to ensure they stick.
Refrigerate the pan for at least 1 hour, or until the layers are set and firm.
Once set, use the parchment paper overhang to lift the candy out of the pan. Place it on a cutting board and cut it into 16 squares or smaller bite-sized pieces, as desired.
Store the candy in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 7 days. Serve chilled or at room temperature.
