Ingredients

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

Directions

Step 1

Grease and line an 8x8-inch square pan with parchment paper, allowing some overhang on the edges for easy removal later.

Step 2

In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, powdered sugar, 1 cup of peanut butter, and melted butter. Stir until the mixture is fully combined and forms a thick, cohesive dough.

Step 3

Press the peanut butter mixture evenly into the prepared pan, using the back of a spoon or a flat spatula to smooth it out into an even layer.

Step 4

In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the chocolate chips and 1/4 cup of peanut butter together in 20-30 second intervals, stirring in between until smooth and fully melted. Alternatively, you can melt them together using a double boiler on the stove.

Step 5

Pour the melted chocolate mixture over the peanut butter layer in the pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula for a smooth finish.

Step 6

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

Step 7

Using the parchment paper overhang, remove the block from the pan and place it on a cutting board. Use a sharp knife to cut into 16 squares.

Step 8

Serve chilled or allow to sit at room temperature for a few minutes before serving. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week.
