Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Graham cracker crumbs
- 1.5 cups Powdered sugar
- 1 cup Unsalted butter, melted
- 1 cup Creamy peanut butter
- 1.5 cups Semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 tablespoon Creamy peanut butter (for topping layer)
Instructions
Line a 9x9-inch square baking pan with parchment paper, leaving enough overhang on the sides for easy removal later.
In a large mixing bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, powdered sugar, melted butter, and the 1 cup of creamy peanut butter for the base layer. Mix until well combined and the mixture resembles wet sand.
Press the mixture firmly and evenly into the prepared baking pan to form the base layer. Use the back of a spoon or the bottom of a flat glass to compress the layer tightly.
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the semi-sweet chocolate chips and 1 tablespoon of creamy peanut butter for the topping layer. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring each time, until the chocolate is fully melted and smooth.
Pour the melted chocolate mixture over the peanut butter base layer and spread it evenly with a spatula.
Place the pan in the refrigerator and chill for at least 2 hours, or until the bars are firm and set.
Using the parchment paper overhang, lift the bars out of the pan and transfer them to a cutting board. Slice into 16 squares or rectangles.
Serve chilled or at room temperature. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
