Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.5 cups butter
- 1.5 cups graham cracker crumbs
- 1.75 cups powdered sugar
- 0.75 cups creamy peanut butter
- 1 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 0.25 cups peanut butter (for topping)
Instructions
Line an 8x8-inch square dish with parchment paper, leaving extra overhang for easy removal later.
In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the butter in short intervals until fully melted.
Combine the melted butter, graham cracker crumbs, powdered sugar, and 3/4 cup of peanut butter in a large mixing bowl. Stir until fully combined and the mixture resembles a thick dough.
Press the mixture evenly into the bottom of the prepared dish, ensuring it is packed and level.
In a separate microwave-safe bowl, add the chocolate chips and 1/4 cup of peanut butter. Microwave in 20-second increments, stirring after each interval, until fully melted and smooth.
Pour the chocolate mixture over the peanut butter base and spread evenly with a spatula.
Refrigerate the dish for at least 2 hours or until the bars are firm and the chocolate is set.
Once set, remove the bars from the dish using the parchment paper overhang. Cut into 12 equal pieces with a sharp knife.
Serve cold or at room temperature. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
