Ingredients
- 2 cups crushed graham crackers
- 1.5 cups powdered sugar
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1.5 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 0.5 cup chunky peanut butter
- 0.25 cup chopped salted peanuts (optional, for topping)
Directions
Step 1
Line a 9x13-inch baking dish with parchment paper, leaving some overhang to make removing the bars easier.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, combine the crushed graham crackers and powdered sugar.
Step 3
Add the creamy peanut butter and melted butter to the bowl, and mix until a cohesive dough forms.
Step 4
Spread the mixture evenly into the prepared baking dish, pressing firmly to achieve a smooth layer.
Step 5
In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the semi-sweet chocolate chips in 30-second intervals, stirring between each interval, until smooth.
Step 6
Stir the chunky peanut butter into the melted chocolate until well combined.
Step 7
Pour the chocolate-peanut butter mixture over the base layer in the baking dish and spread evenly using a spatula.
Step 8
Sprinkle the chopped salted peanuts (if using) over the top for added crunch and flavor.
Step 9
Refrigerate the dish for at least 2 hours, or until the bars are firm and set.
Step 10
Use the parchment paper overhang to lift the bars out of the baking dish, and slice into 16 squares.
Step 11
Store the bars in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 1 week.
