Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Unsalted butter, melted
- 2 cups Graham cracker crumbs
- 2 cups Powdered sugar
- 1 cup Creamy peanut butter
- 1.5 cups Semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 tablespoon Creamy peanut butter (for chocolate topping)
Instructions
Line a 9x13-inch baking dish with parchment paper or lightly grease it with cooking spray.
In a large bowl, combine the melted butter, graham cracker crumbs, powdered sugar, and 1 cup of peanut butter. Stir until the mixture is smooth and well-incorporated.
Press the peanut butter mixture evenly into the prepared baking dish, creating a flat, smooth layer. Use the back of a spoon or clean hands to pack it down firmly.
Melt the chocolate chips and 1 tablespoon of peanut butter together in the microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring after each interval until the mixture is smooth and fully melted.
Pour the melted chocolate mixture over the peanut butter layer, spreading it evenly using a spatula or the back of a spoon.
Refrigerate the bars for at least 2 hours, or until the chocolate is completely set.
Remove the bars from the baking dish by lifting the parchment paper, if used, and place them on a cutting board. Use a sharp knife to slice them into 16 squares or smaller pieces, depending on your preference.
Store the bars in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week. Serve chilled and enjoy!
