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 cup Semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 2 tablespoons Heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
Instructions
In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the unsalted butter in the microwave on a low setting or over a double boiler on the stovetop.
Add the melted butter, peanut butter, powdered sugar, graham cracker crumbs, vanilla extract, and salt to a mixing bowl. Mix well until fully combined and the mixture turns into a thick dough-like consistency.
Line an 8x8-inch baking dish with parchment paper and press the peanut butter mixture evenly into the bottom of the dish. Use a spatula or the back of a spoon to smooth it out.
In another microwave-safe bowl, add the semi-sweet chocolate chips and heavy cream. Microwave in 15-second intervals, stirring after each round, until the chocolate is fully melted and smooth. Be careful not to overheat.
Pour the melted chocolate mixture over the peanut butter base and spread it evenly with a spatula while it's still warm.
Refrigerate the dish for at least 1 hour, or until the chocolate has hardened and the bars are firm.
Once set, remove the dish from the refrigerator and cut the treats into 12 equal-sized squares or bars.
Serve chilled or at room temperature. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 1 week.
