Ingredients
- 113 grams unsalted butter
- 200 grams graham cracker crumbs
- 240 grams powdered sugar
- 200 grams creamy peanut butter
- 170 grams semisweet chocolate chips
- 30 grams creamy peanut butter (for topping)
Directions
Step 1
Line a 9x9-inch (23x23 cm) baking pan with parchment paper, leaving overhang on two sides for easy removal later.
Step 2
In a medium microwave-safe bowl, melt the butter in the microwave in 20-second increments until fully melted.
Step 3
Add the graham cracker crumbs, powdered sugar, and 200 grams of creamy peanut butter to the melted butter. Stir until well incorporated and it forms a thick dough-like mixture.
Step 4
Press the peanut butter mixture evenly into the bottom of the prepared baking pan. Use a spatula or the back of a spoon to smooth the surface.
Step 5
In another microwave-safe bowl, combine the semisweet chocolate chips and the remaining 30 grams of peanut butter. Microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring after each interval, until the mixture is melted and smooth.
Step 6
Pour the melted chocolate mixture over the peanut butter base in the pan. Spread evenly with a spatula to cover the entire surface.
Step 7
Refrigerate the pan for 1-2 hours or until the chocolate layer is completely set.
Step 8
Once set, lift the bars out of the pan using the parchment paper overhang and place on a cutting board.
Step 9
Use a sharp knife to cut the bars into 16 equal squares. Wipe the knife clean between cuts for neat edges.
Step 10
Serve immediately or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
