Ingredients

• 1.5 cups graham cracker crumbs
• 1 cup powdered sugar
• 0.5 cup unsalted butter
• 1 cup creamy peanut butter
• 1.5 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 0.25 cup creamy peanut butter (for topping layer)

Directions

Step 1

Line an 8x8 inch baking pan with parchment paper, ensuring some overhang for easy removal later.

Step 2

In a medium-sized microwave-safe bowl, melt the unsalted butter (about 30–45 seconds on high power).

Step 3

Stir in the creamy peanut butter (1 cup) until smooth and fully combined.

Step 4

Add the graham cracker crumbs and powdered sugar to the peanut butter mixture. Mix until the texture resembles a thick, cohesive dough.

Step 5

Press the mixture evenly into the prepared baking pan, creating a smooth, packed base layer. Set aside.

Step 6

In another microwave-safe bowl, melt the semi-sweet chocolate chips and 1/4 cup peanut butter together in 30-second intervals, stirring after each interval, until smooth and glossy. This should take about 1 to 1.5 minutes.

Step 7

Pour the melted chocolate-peanut butter mixture over the prepared base layer. Spread evenly using a spatula.

Step 8

Refrigerate the pan for at least 2 hours, or until the chocolate layer is firm and set.

Step 9

Once chilled, use the parchment paper overhang to lift the slab out of the pan. Transfer to a cutting board and slice into 16 squares.

Step 10

Serve immediately or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
