Ingredients
- 1 cup Unsalted butter, melted
- 2 cups Graham cracker crumbs
- 3 cups Powdered sugar
- 1 cup Creamy peanut butter
- 1.5 cups Semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 2 tablespoons Peanut butter (for chocolate layer)
Directions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, combine the melted butter, graham cracker crumbs, powdered sugar, and 1 cup of creamy peanut butter. Mix until fully combined and a dense dough forms.
Step 2
Line a 9x13-inch baking dish with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal. Press the peanut butter mixture evenly into the bottom of the dish to form the base layer.
Step 3
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the semi-sweet chocolate chips and 2 tablespoons of peanut butter. Microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring between each, until the mixture is completely melted and smooth.
Step 4
Pour the melted chocolate mixture over the peanut butter base layer, spreading it evenly with a spatula to cover the entire surface.
Step 5
Refrigerate the dish for at least 2 hours, or until the chocolate layer is firm and set.
Step 6
Using the parchment paper overhang, lift the entire slab out of the baking dish and place it on a cutting board.
Step 7
Slice into 16 equal-sized bars and serve. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
