Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups graham cracker crumbs
- 0.75 cups unsalted butter, melted
- 0.5 cups powdered sugar
- 1 cups creamy peanut butter
- 1 cups semisweet chocolate chips
- 2 tablespoons heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon sea salt (optional)
Instructions
Line an 8x8-inch square baking pan with parchment paper, leaving enough overhang on the sides for easy removal.
In a medium bowl, mix the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, powdered sugar, and peanut butter until fully combined. The mixture should resemble wet sand.
Press the graham cracker mixture evenly into the bottom of the prepared pan to form a crust. Flatten and compact it using the back of a spoon. Place the pan in the freezer for 10 minutes to set.
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the chocolate chips and heavy cream. Microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring after each interval, until the chocolate is fully melted and smooth. Stir in the vanilla extract.
Pour the melted chocolate over the peanut butter layer, spreading it evenly with a spatula. If desired, sprinkle sea salt over the top for an extra pop of flavor.
Refrigerate the bars for at least 1 hour, or until the chocolate top has set completely.
Remove the bars from the pan using the parchment paper overhang. Use a sharp knife to cut them into 12 even squares.
Serve and enjoy! Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week.
