Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups graham cracker crumbs
- 2 cups powdered sugar
- 1 cup butter, melted
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1.5 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 0.25 cup creamy peanut butter (for topping)
Instructions
Line a 9x13-inch baking dish with parchment paper or lightly grease it to prevent sticking.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, powdered sugar, melted butter, and 1 cup of creamy peanut butter. Stir until the mixture is well-combined and forms a cohesive dough-like consistency.
Press the mixture evenly into the prepared baking dish, creating a flat and even layer. Use a spatula or your hands to press it down firmly.
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the chocolate chips and 1/4 cup of creamy peanut butter for the topping. Microwave in 20-second increments, stirring after each, until the mixture is completely melted and smooth.
Pour the melted chocolate and peanut butter mixture over the pressed base layer in the baking dish, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
Refrigerate the bars for at least 1 hour, or until the chocolate topping has set and hardened.
Once set, remove the bars from the refrigerator and slice them into squares or rectangles for serving.
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
