Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 2 cups graham cracker crumbs
- 2 cups powdered sugar
- 1.5 cups creamy peanut butter
- 1.5 cups semisweet chocolate chips
- 0.25 cups peanut butter (additional for topping)
Instructions
Line a 9x13-inch baking dish with parchment paper, ensuring the edges hang over for easy removal.
In a medium microwave-safe bowl, melt the butter in the microwave in 30-second intervals until fully melted.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the melted butter, graham cracker crumbs, powdered sugar, and 1.5 cups of creamy peanut butter. Stir until the mixture forms a smooth, even dough.
Press the mixture evenly into the prepared baking dish, creating a firm and level base.
In another microwave-safe bowl, combine the chocolate chips and 0.25 cups of peanut butter. Heat in 20-second intervals in the microwave, stirring after each interval, until smooth and fully melted.
Pour the chocolate mixture over the peanut butter base and use a spatula to spread it evenly across the top.
Chill the bars in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, or until the chocolate is fully set.
Once chilled, lift the bars out of the pan using the parchment paper, place them on a cutting board, and slice into 16 squares.
Serve immediately or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
